| Summary |
"Viaggi del Capitano Lemuel Gulliver in Diversi Paesi Lontani" by Jonathan Swift is a novel written in the early 18th century. The book follows the protagonist, Lemuel Gulliver, as he embarks on a series of fantastical voyages to strange lands filled with peculiar societies and creatures. Through these adventures, the story critiques various aspects of human nature and society. The opening of the novel introduces Gulliver's background, detailing his humble beginnings and education in medicine, which ultimately leads him to a career at sea. After enduring a dangerous voyage, Gulliver finds himself shipwrecked on the shores of Lilliput, a land inhabited by tiny people. Captured by the Lilliputians, he struggles to understand their language and culture while navigating his precarious situation, setting the stage for the satirical observations on human behavior and politics that pervade the rest of the work.
