Set in a fantastical world, this 1726 prose satire critiques human nature and the genre of travel narratives through the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, a surgeon turned ship captain. Swift's narrative explores absurdities and follies of society, using humor and irony to provoke thought rather than entertain. As one of Swift's most renowned works, it has become a cornerstone of English literature, reflecting the author's intent to challenge and disturb rather than simply amuse his readers.
