Gulliver's Travels (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169293021)

Gulliver's Travels is a classic novel written by Jonathan Swift. The book is a satirical work that was first published in 1726. The story follows the travels of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon who finds himself on a series of incredible adventures after being shipwrecked. The novel is divided into four parts, each of which sees Gulliver visit a different land. In the first part, Gulliver finds himself in Lilliput, a land where the inhabitants are only six inches tall. In the second part, he visits Brobdingnag, where the people are giants. The third part sees him in Laputa, a floating island inhabited by scientists and intellectuals, and in the fourth part, he visits the land of the Houyhnhnms, a race of intelligent horses who rule over a group of savage humans.Throughout his travels, Gulliver encounters a range of strange and fascinating creatures, and he observes the customs and behaviors of the different societies he visits. Swift uses Gulliver's experiences to satirize various aspects of society, including politics, religion, and human nature.Overall, Gulliver's Travels is a classic work of literature that has been enjoyed by readers for centuries. It is a witty and thought-provoking novel that continues to be relevant today.The moonlight, pouring its unclouded radiance over open space, failed to throw a beauty not their own on those sluggish waters. Broad and muddy, their stealthy current flowed onward to the sea, without a rock to diversify, without a bubble to break, the sullen surface.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
