Gulliver's Travels

Gulliver's Travels, originally titled Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships is a 1726 prose satire by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, satirising human nature and the imaginary "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best-known full-length work and one of the most famous classics of English literature. The English poet and dramatist John Gay remarked, "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." The book has been adapted for over a dozen films, movies, plays, and theatrical performances over the centuries.

The book was an immediate success, and Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it".

Jonathan Swift

Jonathan Swift (30 November 1667 – 19 October 1745) was an Anglo-Irish writer, satirist, and Anglican cleric who became the dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, and hence his common sobriquet "Dean Swift". His trademark deadpan and ironic style of writing, particularly in A Modest Proposal (1729), has led to such satire being subsequently termed as "Swiftian". He is best remembered for his satirical book Gulliver's Travels (1726). Following the success of his works, Swift came to be regarded by many as the greatest satirist of the 18th century, and one of the foremost prose satirists in the history of English literature.

Swift also authored works such as A Tale of a Tub (1704), An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity (1712), and A Modest Proposal (1729). He originally published all of his works under pseudonyms—including Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M. B. Drapier—or anonymously. He was a master of two styles of satire, the Horatian and Juvenalian styles.
