Synopsis

By "the finest satirist in the English language" (New York Times), Jonathan Swift's satirical masterpiece, Gulliver's Travels, is the tale of Lemuel Gulliver's encounters with the inhabitants of four strange and surreal lands--now available as a limited Olive Edition from HarperPerennial.

After a shipwreck, Lemuel Gulliver finds himself visiting four remarkable--yet very peculiar--worlds: Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, and Houyhnhnms. In Lilliput, Gulliver is dismayed to learn he is a giant in a population of tiny people. But then in Brobdingnag, the roles are reversed when he is reduced to minuscule proportions and the natives tower above him. In Laputa, he discovers a devastated but still enchanting land. And lastly, in Houyhnhnms, he is amazed by the sensitive horses who are greatly superior to the other natives, the inferior humanoid Yahoos.

A literary classic that continues to stand the test of time, Gulliver's Travels is at once a fantastic adventure and a biting political and cultural satire.
