Jonathan Swift – Gulliver’s Travels
Jonathan Swift’s classic novel, Gulliver’s Travels, tells the story of the shipwrecked Lemuel Gulliver who wakes up and finds himself in a land called Lilliput, inhabited by little people. In Swift’s satirical writing, Gulliver’s run ins with giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical Houyhnhnms and brutish Yahoos give him new insights into human behaviour. In this book, Swift holds up a funhouse distorted mirror against society magnifying and presenting a reflection of human flaws and behaviour.
