Part of the Classic Starts series
Journey through lands of giants, tiny people, and intelligent horses.
Lemuel Gulliver embarks on extraordinary voyages to lands beyond imagination. In Lilliput, he towers over tiny inhabitants, while in Brobdingnag, he is dwarfed by giants. Discover the floating island of Laputa and the realm of the wise Houyhnhnms, where horses reign over brutish Yahoos. Each adventure challenges Gulliver's perceptions and reveals the absurdities of human nature. Will he find his place in these bizarre worlds, or will he be forever changed by what he encounters?
Through the eyes of Lemuel Gulliver, Swift’s unforgettable satire takes readers into worlds formerly unimagined. Visit four strange and remarkable lands: Lilliput, where Gulliver seems a giant among a race of tiny people; Brobdingnag, the opposite, where the natives are giants and Gulliver puny; the ruined yet magical country of Laputa; and the home of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses far superior to the ugly humanoid Yahoos who share their universe.
