Jonathan Swift's classic is one the greatest novels written in the English language. It's a monumental satire of political and social mores, particularly of the Seventeenth Century obsession with travel and exploration. Gulliver journeys through a series of islands meeting a fantastical array of people – the tiny Liliputions, the gigantic Brobdingnags, philosophers on a floating island, unhappy immortals, elevated speaking horses, and brutish humans called Yahoos. His observations oblige the reader to think of themselves in such company, to measure their own behaviour, and think beyond their own preconceived notions. Such preoccupations resonate still today.
