Features: Gulliver is a doctor who loves traveling. During a voyage, he encounters a storm and experiences many strange and wonderful things. In Lilliput, he cleverly wins a war sparked by whether to eat the big end or the small end of an egg first. In Brobdingnag, he becomes the plaything of the giants there but is fortunate to escape death. On the Flying Islands, scientists try to extract sunlight from cucumbers. And in the Land of Horses, humans become the servants of the intelligent horses. Hidden beneath the absurd stories is the author's insight and satire into politics, society, and human nature.
