Gulliver's Travels, is a novel by Jonathan Swift that is both a satire on human nature in Four Parts. On his first voyage, Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and awakes to find himself a prisoner of a race of people one-twelfth the size of normal human beings. On his second voyage, he is abandoned by his companions and found by a farmer who is 60 feet tall. On his third voyage, he is attacked by pirates and marooned on a desolate rocky island. He is rescued by the flying island of Laputa, a kingdom devoted to the arts of music and mathematics, but utterly unable to use these for practical ends. On his final trip, he discovers a utopia ruled by horses. It is Swift's best known work, and a classic of English literature.
