I have always thought that "Gulliver's Travels" is children's literature. I read it before, but because it was not an elegant and literary article, I put it aside halfway through. After reading the first two chapters this time, I found it quite readable, and I read it in one go with great interest. I don't know why this book is so attractive. The descriptions are simple, but they are indeed ironic, and they can't help but make people think about the bad and even evil aspects of governments, officials and human beings. Can make readers think.
