Presents the 1726 text of Swift's satire in which a shipwrecked Englishman encounters bizarre populations in unheard-of lands, including an enlightened race of horses that makes him see his fellow humans as vile creatures; and includes notes and fourteen works of criticism.
Captain Lemuel Gulliver travels to a variety of strange lands, such as Lilliput, meeting strange new people and learning about the dangers of modern society and the fallacies of the English Enlightenment.
The voyages of an Englishman carry him to a land of people six inches high, a land of giants, an island of sorcerers, and a land where horses are masters of human-like creatures.
