Güllivers Travels

"This made me reflect, how vain an attempt it is for a man to endeavour to do himself honour among those who are out of ali degree of equality or comparison with him." -from Gulliver's TravelsGulliver's Travels, Jonathan Svvift's best knovvn full-length work, a classic of English literatüre, a satirical experiment of huma'n nature and the dangers of misusing reason, is both critical and humorous while implicitly posing the idea of vvhether it is good or not to use moral righteousness and physical povver as governing factors vvithin the society.The povver of Gulliver's Travels, constantly attacking British and European societies through depictions of imaginary countries, comes most probably from its fabulous depiction of the human condition, vvhich was not only the reason for its becoming popular as soon as published, but also its never being out of print ever since and taking its place in the history of world literatüre.
