Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, recounts four voyages: to Lilliput, where he is a giant among tiny people; to Brobdingnag, a land of giants who exhibit him as a curiosity; to Laputa, a flying island of speculators; and to the land of the Houyhnhnms, rational horses contrasted with the Yahoos. Each society is a satirical mirror of contemporary Europe.

Intended for young readers and for those approaching the classics of world literature.
