Lemuel Gulliver, a surgeon on a merchant
ship, is shipwrecked on the strange island
of Lilliput where the inhabitants are only
six inches tall. After they overcome their
timidity about the giant in their midst,
Gulliver becomes embroiled in the
islanders petty disputes about such
issues as whether it is better to break an
egg at the big end or the little end, the
rivalry between those who wear high
heels and those who prefer low heels,
and the ridiculous pomposity of their
miniature emperor.
This is not the end of Gulliver s
adventures, for he later finds himself on
Brobdingnag, where the natives are
incredibly tall; the flying island of Laputo,
where they intellectualise from dawn till
dusk; and, finally, the country of the wise "
Houyhnhnms and the vulgar Yahoos. All
human life is satirised here, from
politicians to priests and philosophers to
poets. And yes, the truth is that we re all
Yahoos.

评分从小就对小人国大人国的故事很是喜欢,对格列佛游记十分感兴趣。初中时语文书上有格列佛游记的节选,当时读得津津有味。可以说它大大拓宽了我童年时的想象空间,听闻到书中的几个来自奇异国度的新名词就足以让幻想半天。后来我对镜花缘和山海经的偏爱应该也来源于这本书吧。 但...
