Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island inhabited by little people, whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters - with the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical Houyhnhnms and brutish Yahoos - give Gulliver new, bitter insights into human behaviour. Swift's savage satire views mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified and finally bestial species, presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves.

This book is about a man and how he travels to different places. Sometimes he's a giant, other times he is extremely small. I rate this book 4 stars because it was a little confusing at times. There is a movie about this book, that is extremely good!! I recommend this book to the people who like classics and adventure. Read this book and watch the movie to learn all about Gulliver's Travels!

I really love this book because it is about a man whose life is full of adventure as well as it is satire on mankind
