Gulliver’s Travels, published in 1726, is Jonathan Swift’s satirical masterpiece that chronicles the voyages of Lemuel Gulliver to fantastical lands including Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, and the land of the Houyhnhnms. Each journey serves as a biting commentary on politics, science, human pride, and the folly of society. Though often read as a children’s adventure, the novel is a sharp critique of Enlightenment rationalism and imperialism. Swift’s brilliant use of irony and imagination ensures its lasting relevance as a work of satire and literary innovation.
