Gulliver’s Travels Marks 300 Years of Satire and Adventure

Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels was first published in London on October 28, 1726. The novel introduced readers to Lemuel Gulliver’s extraordinary journeys through imagined lands. From the tiny people of Lilliput to the giants of Brobdingnag, Swift used fantasy to satirise politics, scientific ambition and the flaws of European society. First published anonymously as a travel memoir, the book became an immediate success. Three centuries later, it remains one of the most influential classics in English literature.
