Gullivers Travels

EVERY MAN DESIRES TO LIVE LONG,

BUT NO MAN WISHES TO BE OLD.

Shipwrecked on his first voyage, he wakes up in Lilliput--a kingdom of tiny people who are one-twelfth the height of human beings . . .

Blown off course by the gales on his second, he is sold to the queen by a giant farmer in Brobdingnag . . .

Attacked by pirates on his third, marooned near a desolate island, he discovers Laputa--the flying island with educated but impractical people . . .

And as a captain of a merchantman on his fourth voyage, abandoned on a landing boat by his crew, he meets Houyhnhnms--a race of talking horses who are the rulers, and Yahoos--the deformed creatures who are human beings in their base form.

Meet Lemuel Gulliver, as he describes his adventurous voyages across the islands he lands upon.

A universally-read satirical fantasy, Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels continues to remain a classic of English literature even more than two and a half centuries after it was first published.
