Gulliver's Travels, or Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World es una novela de aventuras escrita por Jonathan Swift y publicada originalmente en 1726.
The story is narrated through several trips made by the protagonist, Lemuel Gulliver, to different nations. There he tries to integrate with the inhabitants and understand their way of thinking, their customs, their laws, etc...
In his travels, for one reason or another, he ends up moving away from the intended destination. However, this allows him to reach the most varied places such as a country where the inhabitants are tiny, another where the tiny one is him or where all the inhabitants are horses.
