Features: Gulliver begins his second journey in 1699, encounters a storm at sea, and arrives in a country called Lilliput, where the people are only 15 hundred meters tall. He later escapes and returns home. But soon after, he embarks on another journey, first to Brobdingnag, then to Laputa and Luggnagg, and finally to the even more bizarre Land of the Houyhnhnms. As a young man, Gulliver is proud of humanity and his homeland—England. During his travels to these strange countries, he converses with giants, magicians, and horses. At first, he finds their extraordinary claims and strange beliefs amusing. But as time passes, he begins to wonder and question himself: "Why do humans wage wars, lie, cheat, and kill each other? Is there no better way to live?"
