When Gulliver finds himself washed up on the shores of the island of Lilliput inhabited by ‘little people’ and taken prisoner his life is to change forever but that is just the beginning of his story. For following his escape from Lilliput his travels take him to the huge people of Brobdingnag, the floating island of Laputa and to the land of Houynhnmland where there are horses with great virtues.
The characters are wonderfully drawn, and Gulliver has a great talent for the languages of each land and his travels also provide bitter insights into human behaviour. It is in the end an uncompromising reflection of mankind in its many guises but riveting all the same and essential reading.

HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.'I cannot but conclude the bulk of your natives to be the most pernicious race of little, odious vermin that nature ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the earth.'Shipwrecked on the high seas, Lemuel Gulliver finds himself washed up on the strange island of Lilliput, a land inhabited by quarrelsome and foppish miniature people. During his travels Gulliver is exhibited for money by the giants of Brobdingnag, gawks at the preposterous schemes of the Barnibarbian scientists, and admires the intelligent Houyhnhnms and their taming of the brutish - and suspiciously human - Yahoos.His tales of far-away adventure are told with one eye always on the absurdity of home.
