Gulliver's Travels is a remarkable book. Since its publication in 1726, it has been translated into dozens of languages and widely circulated over more than two centuries, making it an immortal masterpiece in the treasure trove of world literature. The book consists of four parts, describing the adventures of Dr. Gulliver as he sails and drifts to Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, and the land of the Houyhnhnms. Through fictional plots and exaggerated techniques, the novel mercilessly satirizes and critiques the British society of the time, its political system, legal framework, parliament, competition, military, education, social customs, and even the various vices of humanity as a whole.
