| Summary | "Les voyages de Gulliver" by Jonathan Swift is a satirical novel written in the early 18th century. This classic story follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, as he embarks on various fantastical voyages to bizarre lands inhabited by strange creatures and cultures, serving as a commentary on human nature and society. Through these travels, the book explores themes of power, politics, and the absurdities of human behavior. The opening of the tale introduces Gulliver's background and motivation for traveling, detailing his early studies and apprenticeship in surgery. After unsuccessful attempts to establish his practice in London, he agrees to join a voyage on the ship Antelope. Unfortunately, the ship meets with disaster, leading to his shipwreck and subsequent arrival in the land of Lilliput, where he finds himself captured by the tiny inhabitants. Confined and bewildered, Gulliver begins to experience the challenges and absurdities of this strange land, setting the stage for the satirical exploration of politics and society that will follow in his journey.
