Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships (commonly known as Gulliver’s Travels) (1726, amended 1735), is a prose satire by Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, both a satire on human nature and the “travelers’ tales” literary subgenre. It is Swift’s best known full-length work and a classic of English Literature.
The book became popular as soon as it was published. John Gay wrote in a 1726 letter to Swift that “It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery.”
