Imagine the greatest adventure of all time....
Rediscover the immortal story of Lemuel Gulliver and his fantastic voyage. Join him on his journey to the land of the six-inch-high Lilliputians...and into the royal court of the sixty-foot-tall Brobdingnagians. Ascend with him to the flying island of Laputa, whose inhabitants are endowed with uncommon intelligence, but no common sense at all. And follow him into the world of the Houyhnhnms, a race of civilized horses -- lords and masters of the brutish human Yahoos. The tale of a lifetime, "Gulliver's Travels" is filled with action, romance, danger, satirical wit, timeless wisdom, and the high drama only a classic of this caliber can convey. Set sail!

A Bantam pb from 1962, reprint 1981. Some of this stuff was written in 1697. Its ôld. Into the gutter left and right about two-letters worth of a span are nearly illegible. But for fifty coppers, I knew what I was getting. One makes due. And plans for a better annotated, more nicely bound edition in ones future.The first piece, popularly known as Gullivers Travels, I have failed to review elsewhere. I hesitate to link to that Review knowing that such appearance of self-promotion is and ought to

I read this years ago too, but I still remember a lot of it. ;-)

This is an interesting story of a man traveling and meeting people SO different from himself. It is difficult to read ... the language is a bit unusual, but mostly it's just the writing style is hard to follow. In honesty, while I read the entire book, I'm not sure I really "got" it all. And I'm sure there is some deeper symbolism that I didn't even begin to uncover. Might be worth another read sometime down the road.

It's a wonderful book. At first, I didn't like it but that was because I was reading it as an adventure book and not as a satire. This book is a satire criticizing scientists, philosophers and the politicians of then England. AMAZING!

This is just a review of Gulliver's Travels.There are two ways to read this book: 1, as satire, and 2, as a fantasy/travel story. If I was living in 18th century Britain, I'm sure I would appreciate all the little jabs and bits of satire found within it. Unfortunately I do not, so I was only able to understand and appreciate a small amount of the wit.Thus, I read it purely as a fictional narrative, which is simply what it is not meant to be. You get very little sense of who the narrator is as a

What high adventure. Maybe I was Gulliver in my youth. I certainly had an adventure.🐯👍
