Gulliver’s Travels follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship’s surgeon, on his four extraordinary voyages. In Lilliput, he towers over the tiny inhabitants, gaining a godlike perspective on their society. In Brobdingnag, the tables turn as he becomes a curiosity among giants. On the floating island of Laputa, he encounters a society obsessed with abstract ideas, neglecting the real world. His final journey leads him to the land of the Houyhnhnms, noble horses, and the Yahoos, brutish creatures eerily similar to humans.
