Lemuel Gulliver, a surgeon on a merchant

ship, is shipwrecked on the strange island

of Lilliput where the inhabitants are only

six inches tall. After they overcome their

timidity about the giant in their midst,

Gulliver becomes embroiled in the

islanders petty disputes about such

issues as whether it is better to break an

egg at the big end or the little end, the

rivalry between those who wear high

heels and those who prefer low heels,

and the ridiculous pomposity of their

miniature emperor.

This is not the end of Gulliver s

adventures, for he later finds himself on

Brobdingnag, where the natives are

incredibly tall; the flying island of Laputo,

where they intellectualise from dawn till

dusk; and, finally, the country of the wise "

Houyhnhnms and the vulgar Yahoos. All

human life is satirised here, from

politicians to priests and philosophers to

poets. And yes, the truth is that we re all

Yahoos.

知道《格列佛游记》的人数一定不比知道《鲁滨逊漂流记》的人数多；但是知道“小人国”的人数一定不比知道“鲁滨逊”的人数少。 在我们过往的记忆里，格列佛游记就等同于大、小人国游记，但事实上这本书是由下面四个部分组成的： 第一卷 利立浦特游记（小人国） 第二卷 布...

内容充满想象力，而且借助想象的情结讽刺了国家乃至人性的弱点，兼具趣味性及思想性。

Usually read as a fairy tale in its abridged Chinese translations, but really it is a political satire of the 18th century England. Great great great blend of literature, adventure, fantasy and political philosophy.
