Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib, and the Land of the Houyhnhnms. From little beings to giants, self-absorbed scientists, and intelligent horses, Lemuel Gulliver has seen it all.

Swift’s most important work as well as a masterclass in social satire!

Up and down

far yet so familiar—

our magnified foibles.

    Swift! Wonderful writer and satirist. I like Gulliver but Swift wrote so much great satire. "A Modest Proposal" is biting. Great critique, Cendrine.

  • I read this so many times as a kid! Excellent review!

    I haven't read Gulliver's Travells in years! It is such classic. Well done!
