| Summary | "Gulliverin retket" by Jonathan Swift is a satirical novel written in the early 18th century. This work follows the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon who embarks on a series of fantastical journeys to strange lands, each populated by peculiar inhabitants. Throughout these adventures, Swift explores themes of human nature, society, and politics through a lens of sharp wit and humor. The opening of "Gulliverin retket" introduces the titular character, Lemuel Gulliver, providing background on his early life, education, and motivations for travel. After being shipwrecked, Gulliver finds himself on the shores of Lilliput, a land inhabited by tiny people who capture and imprison him. As he navigates this new world, he begins to understand the absurdities of the societies he encounters, setting the stage for the satirical critiques of human behavior and governance that will unfold throughout his journeys.
