"Gulliver's Travels" follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon whose voyages take him to extraordinary lands. After being shipwrecked, he finds himself in Lilliput, where he encounters tiny people who initially view him with awe but soon become embroiled in political conflicts. Gulliver's subsequent travels lead him to Brobdingnag, a land of giants, and later to the floating island of Laputa, inhabited by intellectuals consumed by abstract science. His adventures expose the absurdities of human nature, politics, and society, ultimately prompting him to question the values of his own world. Swift's satirical tale critiques both folly and enlightenment. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
