By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships, commonly known as Gulliver's Travels (1726, amended 1735), is a prose satire by Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, that is both a satire on human nature and a parody of the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. The book became popular as soon as it was published. John Gay wrote in a 1726 letter to Swift that "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." Since then, it has never been out of print.

One of the true classics, Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift (first published in 1726) is another for the bucket list of any fans of fictional writing.Written in four divisions, Swift portrays the novel as the memoirs of the titled character, Lemuel Gulliver. Gulliver describes his decidedly odd encounters with the even more peculiar denizens of lands foreign and as yet undiscovered, including the 6 inch high Lilliputians, the giant... Well, Giants and the super intelligent horse-race.In much of Swifts work (this being no exception) can be found satirical references of varying form and on any number of subjects; politics, of course, along with family, science and even (more unusually for the time) religion. Many of the subjects satirically covered by Dean Jonathan Swift in Gulliver's Travels concern the happenings specifically of his lifetime but many still, perhaps even more than the former, are of direct concern to societies of the modern world - subjects such as the issues of power both separately and including that pertaining to mankind's on-going technological advancement.Without a doubt one of our favourite novels of all time Gulliver's Travels should be enjoyed by both the young and old and will undoubtedly be, for us at least, a book to pick up over and over.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Of a restless disposition, Lemuel Gulliver escapes London for the remote regions of the world. During his many, often terrifying, adventures he encounters the tiny squabbling inhabitants of Lilliput and the simple giants of Brobdingnag, as well as the noble Houyhnhnms and brutish Yahoo.
