Gulliver's travels / Jonathan Swift -- Tristam Shandy / Laurence Sterne |
| Summary |
Gulliver's Travels is Jonathan Swift's satirical masterpiece, the fantastic tale of the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, an English ship's surgeon. At first, he is shipwrecked in the land of Lilliput, where the alarmed residents are only six inches high. His second voyage takes him to the land of Brobdingnag, where the people are sixty feet high. Further adventures bring Gulliver to an island that floats in the sky and to a land where horses are endowed with reason and beasts are shaped like men |
