  • Gulliver's Travels is a novel by Anglo-Irish
    writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift that is both
    a satire on human nature and a parody of the
    "travellers' tales" literary sub-genre. It is
    Swift's best known full-length work, and a
    classic of English literature.

Part I A Voyage to Lilliput
  • On his first voyage, Gulliver is washed
    ashore after a shipwreck and awakes to find
    himself a prisoner of a race of people
    one-twelfth the size of normal human beings, less
    than 6 inches (15cm) high, who are inhabitants of
    the neighbouring and rival countries of Lilliput
    and Blefuscu. After giving assurances of his good
    behaviour, he is given a residence in Lilliput
    and becomes a favourite of the court. From there,
    the book follows Gulliver's observations on the
    Court of Lilliput.
