Through four fantastic voyages, to tiny Lilliput, giant Brobdingnag, the flying island of Laputa, and the land of the rational Houyhnhnms, a surgeon anatomizes humanity.

Jonathan Swift's 1726 masterpiece is one of the greatest satires ever written, its imaginative journeys a merciless mirror to human pride and folly. Sharp, savage, endlessly inventive. Read it for the complete four-part classic, a cornerstone of imaginative and satirical fiction alike.
