Gulliver is a ship’s surgeon, whom on two different accounts got stuck at mysterious lands due to a storm. These unexpected travels include Lilliput and Brobdingnag. The land of Lilliput has everything in miniature, with Gulliver being a giant in respect to the people and everything there. The land of Brobdingnag has everything enlarged, with Gulliver being tiny in respect to the people and everything there. In both lands, Gulliver needs to learn the language to communicate with the people. Gulliver uses political finesse and guile to gain freedom and understanding. With his unique perspective and abilities, Gulliver is able to shape each lands geopolitics. Although prone to adventure, Gulliver seeks escape back home.
The book is fairly well written, but many parts have poor flow due to antediluvian syntax. Interesting tales that can facilitate an understanding on how to treat others and the respective consequences.
