Lemuel Gulliver, ship’s surgeon, is wrecked, marooned, mutinied against and finally abandoned, and in each case washes up in a country that holds a mirror to his own: Lilliput, where he is a giant among the small; Brobdingnag, where he is small among giants; Laputa and its neighbours; and the land of the Houyhnhnms, where horses reason and men do not.

Jonathan Swift published the book anonymously in 1726. It was read at once as an adventure and as the most savage satire on politics, learning and human nature in English, and has been both ever since.

All four voyages are here, with the publisher’s note to the reader and Gulliver’s own letter to his cousin Sympson, in which he complains that six months after publication the book has corrected nothing at all.
