Gulliver''s Travels is an adventure story involving several voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, who is an educated and trained surgeon. He speaks to the readers retelling his experiences at sea. Presented as a simple travelers narrative, Gullivers adventures are divided into four parts.
The first part is situated in Lilliput where he finds himself in the company of thousands of miniature people called Lilliputians. The second is on the peninsulatype land of Brobdingnag, an opposite world from Lilliput where Gulliver becomes the Lilliputian and everyone is a giant to him. The third part moves to the island of Laputa, a floating island inhabited by theoreticians and academics which oppresses the land below, called Balnibarbi. Finally in the fourth part he arrives in an unknown land. This land is populated by Houyhnhnms, the rational-thinking horses who rule, and by Yahoos, the inferior brutish servants to the horses who bear the image of a human.
First published in 1726, this collection of Lemuel Gullivers fascinating voyages all over the world, has been loved, read and re-read by every child and adult familiar with the English language.
