The book review
The book Gulliver's Travels is a masterpiece penned by Jonathan Swift, blending both fantasy and social satire. Through the fantastical voyages of Lemuel Gulliver to lands populated by tiny Lilliputians, towering Brobdingnagians, and rational Houyhnhnms, Swift masterfully exposes the vices of human nature and society.
On the surface, the book enchants readers with imaginative adventures; beneath, it serves as a sharp-tongued critique of 18th-century British politics, philosophy, and human arrogance. In this book, Swift applied the technique of irony and contrast to engage readers. For instance, the Lilliputians' minute stature contrasts with their petty political squabbles, mirroring the futility of real-world power struggles. Swift’s mastery of language adds depth to this work.
