This is a beautifully untouched copy of the first edition of Swift’s masterpiece, Gulliver’s Travels. It follows the voyages of Lemuel Gulliver to the lands of Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib, and the country of the Houyhnhnms, satirizing human nature all the while. Because it is both timely and timeless, all kinds of readers have praised it as a satire, a burlesque travelogue, a moral fable, an anti-novel, an adventure in science fiction, a personal psychodrama, or a uniquely loved book for schoolchildren.
