Summary "Les Voyages de Gulliver" by Jonathan Swift is a satirical novel written in the early 18th century. The narrative follows the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon who embarks on a series of fantastical voyages to strange lands inhabited by peculiar beings. The novel reflects on human nature and society through its absurd and insightful explorations of different cultures. At the start of the story, Gulliver recounts his background, detailing his education and early career as a surgeon before he begins his maritime adventures. After experiencing a shipwreck, he washes ashore in the land of Lilliput, where he discovers that he is a giant among the tiny inhabitants, only a few inches tall. Captured and restrained, Gulliver finds himself the object of both fear and curiosity from the Lilliputians, leading to a series of humorous and thought-provoking encounters as he navigates his new reality. The opening sets the stage for a tale that explores themes of power, perspective, and human folly. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
