Features: This book is one of the "World Famous Selections" series of the Ivy English Reading Comprehension, where the protagonist, Gulliver, is treated differently in every fantastical land he visits. He hears and sees the extraordinary, and the author vividly depicts each scenario, making the readers feel as if they are hearing the sounds and witnessing the events firsthand. This work is rich in imagination, unique in conception, and brilliant in language. Through the extraordinary travels and various encounters of Gulliver, a surgeon, to fictional lands such as Lilliput, Brobdingnag, the Flying Islands, and the Land of the Houyhnhnms, it reflects the various contradictions of British society in the first half of the 18th century and satirizes and critiques Britain's domestic and foreign policies.
