In this narrative of the gullible ship's doctor Lemuel Gulliver and
his extraordinary travels, Jonathan Swift takes readers through a
series of apparently child-like fantasy worlds of tiny people and
giants, floating islands and talking horses. But through this
fantastic journey, he also gave to literature an enduring model of
mankind's follies, vulnerabilities, vanities, and
self-destructiveness. Dangerously topical in its own time and much
debated ever since, Gulliver's Travels is among those works of
English literature that entrap and challenge readers in every
period. This edition uses the 1735 edition as the copy text,
retaining the original, unmodernized text. Historical appendices
provide a context for the novel's literary models, scientific
influences, and complex political and religious allusions.
