Eccentric as always, Jonathan Swift arranged to have the manuscript of Gulliver's Travels delivered anonymously to the publisher at night, dropped on the doorstep from the window of a hackney coach. This cloak-and-dagger precaution indicates the effect he expected the book to have on the public. Written 'to vex the world rather than divert it" Gulliver s Travels was the work that would establish Swift as the world's master satirist.

...

When Lemuel Gulliver sets off from London on a sea voyage,little does he know the many incredible and unbelievablemisadventures awaiting him. Shipwrecked at sea and nearly drowned, he washes ashore upon an exotic island called Lilliput--where the people are only six inches tall！ Next he visits a land of incredible giants called Brobdingnagians.They are more than sixty feet tall！ He travels to Laputa, a city that floats in the sky, and to Glubbdubdrib, the Island of Sorcerers. His final voyage brings him into contact with the Yahoos--a brutish race of subhumans--and an intelli gent and virtuous race of horse, the Houyhnhnms.
