About This Novel
"Gulliver's Travels" is Jonathan Swift's masterpiece. The author uses unusual imagination to describe all kinds of strange things that the protagonist Gulliver encounters when he travels to "Lilliput", "Adult", "Hyhnhnms" and other places. For example, in the "Lilliput Kingdom", he could freely play with all kinds of people, from kings to commoners, in the palm of his hand; while in the "Adult Kingdom", he could only be controlled by others like a child. After arriving in the "Hyhnhnms Kingdom", the horse became a symbol of wisdom, and humans became inferior animals. Through these interesting stories, the author satirized various shortcomings of British society at that time, such as the intrigues of politicians and the greed of the rich.
