Considered the greatest satire ever written in English, Jonathan Swift ’s Gulliver’s Travels chronicles the fantastic voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, principally to four marvelous realms: Lilliput, where the people are six inches tall; Brobdingnag, a land inhabited by giants; Laputa, a wondrous flying island; and a country where the Houyhnhnms, a race of intelligent horses, are served by savage humanoid creatures called Yahoos.
Beneath the surface of this enchanting fantasy lurks a devastating critique of human malevolence, stupidity, greed, vanity, and short-sightedness. A brilliant combination of adventure, humor, and philosophy, Gulliver’s Travels is one of literature’s most durable masterpieces.

Esoteric, infused with complex, conflicting ideologies and somewhat 'indecent' digressing elements. Swift composed an unsettling parody where the protagonist Gulliver undergoes the degenerating experience of 'education' in political philosophy. 非常非常有趣
