"Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon whose adventures take him to fantastical lands. After being shipwrecked, he finds himself in Lilliput, inhabited by tiny people who are embroiled in petty conflicts. Gulliver then journeys to Brobdingnag, where he encounters giants. His travels continue to Laputa, a floating island of intellectuals, and the land of the Houyhnhnms, where intelligent horses govern a rational society. Through these satirical encounters, Swift critiques human nature, politics, and society, revealing the absurdities of both his own time and the universality of human folly.
