Gulliver’s Travels, published in 1726 by Jonathan Swift under the pseudonym Lemuel Gulliver, is a satirical novel that stands as one of the most enduring works of English literature. Written as a parody of travel narratives popular in the 18th century, it follows the voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship’s surgeon, to fantastical lands like Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, and the country of the Houyhnhnms. Swift, an Irish clergyman and political writer, used the novel to critique human nature, European politics, and societal institutions, employing sharp irony and exaggerated scenarios to expose the absurdities of pride, greed, and corruption. The book’s blend of adventure, humor, and philosophical reflection has made it a timeless classic, appealing to readers as both a fantastical tale and a profound commentary on humanity’s flaws.
