Gulliver’s Travels

Gulliver’s Travels Kısa Özet

Gulliver`s Travels, or Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships is a 1726 prose satire by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, satirising both human nature and the "travellers` tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift`s best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver`s Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it".

The book was an immediate success. The English dramatist John Gay remarked: "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery."
