Gulliver's Travels

Author: Jonathan Swift

Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift is a timeless adventure that sweeps you into the extraordinary voyages of Lemuel Gulliver. From the tiny inhabitants of Lilliput to the giants of Brobdingnag, each journey is a satirical masterpiece that pokes fun at human nature and society. I remember reading it as a teenager, utterly captivated by Swift’s wit and imagination. It’s a book that stays with you, making you ponder long after the final page.

I cannot but conclude the bulk of your natives to be the most pernicious race of little odious vermin that nature ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the earth.
