GULLIVER'S TRAVELS

A violent storm drives Gulliver, his ship's sole survivor to Lilliput, a country inhabited by a race of people only six inches high. Fascinating is the description of how these tiny folk fed him, how they put together 600 of their beds to make one for him, how he aided them in their war with a neighboring country by towing the enemy fleet to shore, and how finally he went on his next journey, which took him to the land of giants--Brobdingnag. Here Gulliver, who is no bigger than a Lilliputian to these gigantic people, becomes a court toy. Later he travels to other strange lands, finally coming to the land of the Houghnhnms, a race of horses of great intelligence who have devised an ideal government. This marvelous swtory of strange adventures is a brilliant satire on the manners and customs of 18th Century England--but generations have enjoyed the book simply for its story--a masterpiece of imaginative writing. THIS IS A FACSIMILE REPRINT OF AN 1899 EDITION FROM GREAT BRITAIN WITH INTERIOR ILLUSTRATIONS BY ARTHUR RACKHAM.
