Gulliver's Travels: A Surgeon's Voyage Among Giants, Tiny Tyrants, and a World That Mocks Our Own

Shipwrecked and stranded, Lemuel Gulliver wakes up tied down by an army of six-inch soldiers who take their tiny politics dead seriously. It's the first of four voyages that will drop him among giants, floating scientists chasing useless theories, and a society of talking horses that finds humanity utterly beneath them — and every stop is a mirror held up to the pettiness, cruelty, and vanity of Swift's own England.Three centuries later, Gulliver's Travels still lands as one of the sharpest satires ever written — funny enough to read as pure adventure, cutting enough to still sting. If you think satire started with modern political comedy, this is where the blade was first sharpened.
