''Gulliver’s Travels'' is a timeless satirical novel written by Jonathan Swift, celebrated for its wit, imagination, and biting social commentary. The story follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship’s surgeon, who embarks on a series of extraordinary voyages to distant lands. In each of these lands, Gulliver encounters fantastical creatures, peculiar customs, and absurd societies, offering Swift a platform to critique various aspects of 18th-century European society, politics, and human nature. From the miniature inhabitants of Lilliput to the towering Brobdingnagians, and from the rational Houyhnhnms to the savage Yahoos, Gulliver’s encounters reveal the follies, vices, and hypocrisies of humanity. Through its engaging narrative and thought-provoking allegory, ''Gulliver’s Travels'' offers readers a profound exploration of power, corruption, morality, and the essence of humanity itself, making it a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers of all ages.
