Gulliver's Travels follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon who embarks on four extraordinary voyages that serve as biting satire of 18th-century society. Lilliput: Gulliver encounters a race of tiny people, whose petty rivalries and absurd politics mock the trivial disputes and corruption of European governments. Brobdingnag: In a land of giants, Gulliver is diminished and judged harshly by the morally upright King, who condemns the violence and greed of European customs. Laputa and neighboring lands: Gulliver meets scholars obsessed with impractical theories, a satire of intellectual arrogance and the misuse of science detached from real life. Houyhnhnms: Gulliver discovers rational, noble horses who live by reason, contrasted with brutish, filthy Yahoos resembling humans. Disgusted with humanity, Gulliver longs to remain with the Houyhnhnms but is forced to return home, disillusioned. Through these adventures, Swift critiques politics, religion, science, and human pride, exposing corruption, hypocrisy, and folly. The novel works both as fantastical travel writing and as profound satire, making readers laugh while also confronting uncomfortable truths about human nature.
