This book was written by JONATHAN SWIFT The book was first published in 1726 by BENJAMIN MOTTE in English The Real title of the book was TRAVEL INTO SEVERAL REMOTE NATIONS OF THE WORLD The book become so popular that it had not stopped publishing yet now

VOYAGE TO LILIPUTThe book begins with a short preamble in which Lemuel Gulliver in the style of books of the time gives a brief outline of his life and history before his voyages He enjoys travelling although it is that love of travel that is his downfallDuring his first voyage Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and finds himself a prisoner of a race of tiny people less than 6 inches tall who are inhabitants of the island country of Lilliput After giving assurances of his good behaviour he is given a residence in Lilliput and becomes a favorite of the court From there the book follows Gullivers observations on the Court of Lilliput He is also given the permission to roam around the city on a condition that he must not harm their subjects Gulliver assists the Lilliputians to subdue their neighbours the Blefuscudians by stealing their fleet However he refuses to reduce the island nation of Blefuscu to a province of Lilliput displeasing the King and the court Gulliver is charged with treason for among other crimes making water in the capital (even though he was putting out a fire and saving countless lives) He is convicted and sentenced to be blinded but with the assistance of a kind friend he escapes to Blefuscu Here he spots and retrieves an abandoned boat and sails out to be rescued by a passing ship which safely takes him back home This book of the Travels is a topical political satire

Voyage to BrobdingnagWhen the sailing ship Adventure is blown off course by storms and forced to put into land for want of fresh water Gulliver is abandoned by his companions and found by a farmer who is 72 feet (22 m) tall (the scale of Brobdingnag is about 121 compared to Lilliputs 112 judging from Gulliver estimating a mans step being 10 yards (91 m)) He brings Gulliver home and his daughter cares for Gulliver The farmer treats him as a curiosity and exhibits him for money Since Gulliver is too small to use their huge chairs beds knives and forks the queen commissions a small house to be built for him so that he can be carried around in it this is referred to as his travelling box Between small adventures such as fighting giant wasps and being carried to the roof by a monkey he discusses the state of Europe with the King The King is not happy with Gullivers accounts of Europe especially upon learning of the use of guns and cannons On a trip to the seaside his travelling box is seized by a giant eagle which drops Gulliver and his box into the sea where he is picked up by some sailors who return him to EnglandThis book compares the truly moral man to the representative man the latter is clearly shown to be the lesser of the two Swift being in Anglican holy orders was keen to make such comparisons

Voyage to Laputa Balnibarbi Luggnagg Glubbdubdrib and JapanAfter Gullivers ship was attacked by pirates he is marooned close to a desolate rocky island near India Fortunately he is rescued by the flying island of Laputa a kingdom devoted to the arts of music and mathematics but unable to use them for practical ends Since Swift was in Anglican holy orders he like so many of them viewed reason as what Martin Luther had called that great whore and regarded Deism whose practitioners attacked revealed religions with pure horrorLaputas custom of throwing rocks down at rebellious cities on the ground seems the first time that the air strike was conceived as a method of warfare Gulliver tours Laputa as the guest of a low-ranking courtier and sees the ruin brought about by the blind pursuit of science without practical results in a satire on bureaucracy and on the Royal Society and its experiments At the Grand Academy of Lagado great resources and manpower are employed on researching completely preposterous schemes such as extracting sunbeams from cucumbers softening marble for use in pillows learning how to mix paint by smell and uncovering political conspiracies by examining the excrement of suspicious persons (see muckraking)Gulliver is then taken to Balnibarbi to await a trader who can take him on to Japan While waiting for a passage Gulliver takes a short side-trip to the island of Glubbdubdrib where he visits a magicians dwelling and discusses history with the ghosts of historical figures the most obvious restatement of the ancients versus moderns theme in the book In Luggnagg he encounters the struldbrugs unfortunates who are immortal They do not have the gift of eternal youth but suffer the infirmities of old age and are considered legally dead at the age of eighty After reaching Japan Gulliver asks the Emperor to excuse my performing the ceremony imposed upon my countrymen of trampling upon the crucifix which the Emperor does Gulliver returns home determined to stay there for the rest of his days

Voyage to the Country of the HouyhnhnmsDespite his earlier intention of remaining at home Gulliver returns to the sea as the captain of a merchantman as he is bored with his employment as a surgeon On this voyage he is forced to find new additions to his crew whom he believes to have turned the rest of the crew against him His crew then mutiny and after keeping him contained for some time resolve to leave him on the first piece of land they come across and continue as pirates He is abandoned in a landing boat and comes upon a race of hideous deformed and savage humanoid creatures to which he conceives a violent antipathy Shortly afterwards he meets a race of horses who call themselves Houyhnhnms (which in their language means the perfection of nature) they are the rulers while the deformed creatures called Yahoos are human beings in their base formGulliver becomes a member of a horses household and comes to both admire and emulate the Houyhnhnms and their lifestyle rejecting his fellow humans as merely Yahoos endowed with some semblance of reason which they only use to exacerbate and add to the vices Nature gave them However an Assembly of the Houyhnhnms rules that Gulliver a Yahoo with some semblance of reason is a danger to their civilization and expels himHe is then rescued against his will by a Portuguese ship and is surprised to see that Captain Pedro de Mendez a Yahoo is a wise courteous and generous person He returns to his home in England but he is unable to reconcile himself to living among Yahoos and becomes a recluse remaining in his house largely avoiding his family and his wife and spending several hours a day speaking with the horses in his stables in effect becoming insaneThis book uses coarse metaphors to describe human depravity and the Houyhnhms are symbolized as not only perfected nature but also the emotional barrenness which Swift maintained that devotion to reason brought

It is uncertain exactly when Swift started writing Gullivers Travels but some sources suggest as early as 1713 when Swift Gay Pope Arbuthnot and others formed the Scriblerus Club with the aim of satirising popular literary genres Swift runs the theory was charged with writing the memoirs of the clubs imaginary author Martinus Scriblerus and also with satirising the travellers tales literary sub-genre It is known from Swifts correspondence that the composition proper began in 1720 with the mirror-themed parts I and II written first Part IV next in 1723 and Part III written in 1724 but amendments were made even while Swift was writing Drapiers Letters By August 1725 the book was complete and as Gullivers Travels was a transparently anti-Whig satire it is likely that Swift had the manuscript copied so that his handwriting could not be used as evidence if a prosecution should arise as had happened in the case of some of his Irish pamphlets(the Drapiers Letters) In March 1726 Swift travelled to London to have his work published the manuscript was secretly delivered to the publisher Benjamin Motte who used five printing houses to speed production and avoid piracy Motte recognising a best-seller but fearing prosecution cut or altered the worst offending passages (such as the descriptions of the court contests in Lilliput and the rebellion of Lindalino) added some material in defence of Queen Anne to book II and published it The first edition was released in two volumes on 26 October 1726 priced at 8s 6d The book was an instant sensation and sold out its first run in less than a week

VOYAGE TO LILIPUTThe book begins with a short preamble in which Lemuel Gulliver in the style of books of the time gives a brief outline of his life and history before his voyages He enjoys travelling although it is that love of travel that is his downfallDuring his first voyage Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and finds himself a prisoner of a race of tiny people less than 6 inches tall who are inhabitants of the island country of Lilliput After giving assurances of his good behaviour he is given a residence in Lilliput and becomes a favorite of the court From there the book follows Gullivers observations on the Court of Lilliput He is also given the permission to roam around the city on a condition that he must not harm their subjects Gulliver assists the Lilliputians to subdue their neighbours the Blefuscudians by stealing their fleet However he refuses to reduce the island nation of Blefuscu to a province of Lilliput displeasing the King and the court Gulliver is charged with treason for among other crimes making water in the capital (even though he was putting out a fire and saving countless lives) He is convicted and sentenced to be blinded but with the assistance of a kind friend he escapes to Blefuscu Here he spots and retrieves an abandoned boat and sails out to be rescued by a passing ship which safely takes him back home This book of the Travels is a topical political satire

Voyage to Laputa Balnibarbi Luggnagg Glubbdubdrib and JapanAfter Gullivers ship was attacked by pirates he is marooned close to a desolate rocky island near India Fortunately he is rescued by the flying island of Laputa a kingdom devoted to the arts of music and mathematics but unable to use them for practical ends Since Swift was in Anglican holy orders he like so many of them viewed reason as what Martin Luther had called that great whore and regarded Deism whose practitioners attacked revealed religions with pure horrorLaputas custom of throwing rocks down at rebellious cities on the ground seems the first time that the air strike was conceived as a method of warfare Gulliver tours Laputa as the guest of a low-ranking courtier and sees the ruin brought about by the blind pursuit of science without practical results in a satire on bureaucracy and on the Royal Society and its experiments At the Grand Academy of Lagado great resources and manpower are employed on researching completely preposterous schemes such as extracting sunbeams from cucumbers softening marble for use in pillows learning how to mix paint by smell and uncovering political conspiracies by examining the excrement of suspicious persons (see muckraking)Gulliver is then taken to Balnibarbi to await a trader who can take him on to Japan While waiting for a passage Gulliver takes a short side-trip to the island of Glubbdubdrib where he visits a magicians dwelling and discusses history with the ghosts of historical figures the most obvious restatement of the ancients versus moderns theme in the book In Luggnagg he encounters the struldbrugs unfortunates who are immortal They do not have the gift of eternal youth but suffer the infirmities of old age and are considered legally dead at the age of eighty After reaching Japan Gulliver asks the Emperor to excuse my performing the ceremony imposed upon my countrymen of trampling upon the crucifix which the Emperor does Gulliver returns home determined to stay there for the rest of his days

Voyage to the Country of the HouyhnhnmsDespite his earlier intention of remaining at home Gulliver returns to the sea as the captain of a merchantman as he is bored with his employment as a surgeon On this voyage he is forced to find new additions to his crew whom he believes to have turned the rest of the crew against him His crew then mutiny and after keeping him contained for some time resolve to leave him on the first piece of land they come across and continue as pirates He is abandoned in a landing boat and comes upon a race of hideous deformed and savage humanoid creatures to which he conceives a violent antipathy Shortly afterwards he meets a race of horses who call themselves Houyhnhnms (which in their language means the perfection of nature) they are the rulers while the deformed creatures called Yahoos are human beings in their base formGulliver becomes a member of a horses household and comes to both admire and emulate the Houyhnhnms and their lifestyle rejecting his fellow humans as merely Yahoos endowed with some semblance of reason which they only use to exacerbate and add to the vices Nature gave them However an Assembly of the Houyhnhnms rules that Gulliver a Yahoo with some semblance of reason is a danger to their civilization and expels himHe is then rescued against his will by a Portuguese ship and is surprised to see that Captain Pedro de Mendez a Yahoo is a wise courteous and generous person He returns to his home in England but he is unable to reconcile himself to living among Yahoos and becomes a recluse remaining in his house largely avoiding his family and his wife and spending several hours a day speaking with the horses in his stables in effect becoming insaneThis book uses coarse metaphors to describe human depravity and the Houyhnhms are symbolized as not only perfected nature but also the emotional barrenness which Swift maintained that devotion to reason brought

It is uncertain exactly when Swift started writing Gullivers Travels but some sources suggest as early as 1713 when Swift Gay Pope Arbuthnot and others formed the Scriblerus Club with the aim of satirising popular literary genres Swift runs the theory was charged with writing the memoirs of the clubs imaginary author Martinus Scriblerus and also with satirising the travellers tales literary sub-genre It is known from Swifts correspondence that the composition proper began in 1720 with the mirror-themed parts I and II written first Part IV next in 1723 and Part III written in 1724 but amendments were made even while Swift was writing Drapiers Letters By August 1725 the book was complete and as Gullivers Travels was a transparently anti-Whig satire it is likely that Swift had the manuscript copied so that his handwriting could not be used as evidence if a prosecution should arise as had happened in the case of some of his Irish pamphlets(the Drapiers Letters) In March 1726 Swift travelled to London to have his work published the manuscript was secretly delivered to the publisher Benjamin Motte who used five printing houses to speed production and avoid piracy Motte recognising a best-seller but fearing prosecution cut or altered the worst offending passages (such as the descriptions of the court contests in Lilliput and the rebellion of Lindalino) added some material in defence of Queen Anne to book II and published it The first edition was released in two volumes on 26 October 1726 priced at 8s 6d The book was an instant sensation and sold out its first run in less than a week
