About This Novel

This travelogue is a ruthless and comprehensive criticism of British society in the first half of the eighteenth century; in particular, it heartily exposes and ruthlessly criticizes the rulers' corruption, incompetence, boredom, viciousness, debauchery, greed, and arrogance. This kind of critical voice even reaches a sharp and extreme level in Houyhnhnms' Travels. Swift directly points the finger at the sinful, stupid, dirty, and irrational human beings as a whole. The Houyhnhnm country composed of horses was his ideal utopia. Gulliver was exiled by the wise and rational Houyhnhnms. Full of melancholy, he returned to the homeland that gave birth to him but disgusted him. He had to spend the rest of his life with a group of "yahoos" in anger and helplessness.

If the teacher hadn't asked me to read it and said I would pass the exam next semester, I wouldn't have read it. Are you all in grade 8?

It's summer break and the teacher asked me to read it and talk about what I need to learn next semester. I have no choice but to take a look.
