Features: Gulliver is a doctor who loves traveling. During a voyage, he encounters a storm and experiences many strange and wonderful things. In the Lilliputian land, he cleverly wins a war triggered by the debate over whether to eat the big end or the small end of an egg first. In the Brobdingnagian land, he becomes a plaything of the giants but is fortunate to escape death. On the flying islands, scientists try to extract sunlight from cucumbers. And in the land of the Houyhnhnms, humans become the servants of the intelligent horses. Hidden beneath the absurd stories is the author's insight and satire on politics, society, and human nature.
