"It is universally read, from the Cabinet council to the nursery," remarked Alexander Pope when Gulliver's Travels was published in 1726. One of the unique books of world literature, Swift's masterful satire describes the astonishing voyages of one Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, to surreal kingdoms inhabited by miniature people and giants, quack philosophers and scientists, horses endowed with reason, and men who behave like beasts. Written with great wit and invention, Gulliver's Travels is a savage parody of man and his institutions that has captivated readers for nearly three centuries.
