Gulliver’s Travels is renowned as a playful and comic children’s classic. The book itself rather than the bowdlerized versions that have been derived from it is a savage rude and brilliant satire timeless in its appeal and unerringly accurate. The images of Gulliver among the miniature Lilliputians and the giants of Brobdingnag the crazy scientists and the rational horses create a series of novel delights and challenging insights.
