Gulliver's Travel Some Thought That

Gulliver's Travel Some thought that the book entitled "Gulliver's Travels" has been written by Jonathan Swift as a book for children. However, it has been found that Swift has written the book with the intention to ridicule the English society of the time. The four books written about Gulliver's travels refer to the four different places that Gulliver accidentally visits during his voyages. Gulliver tells the stories after he arrives home unharmed by the unfortunate set of events that he goes through.

Analysts are led to believe that Swift had intended to criticize nearly all the members of the English society. Above all that, Swift is believed by some to have had issues concerning his opinion regarding the human nature. Swift had been concerned about the fact that the government would condemn him for his writings. As a result, similar to some of his previous work, Gulliver's travels did not initially give any credit to its rightful author.

While some critics had believed that Swift had hated the human nature, others had had the belief that the English author had in fact intended to better the human condition through his books. Time had turned "Gulliver's Travels" into one of the best books intended to mock the so-called modern and civilized society. Regardless of the fact that Swift had written "Gulliver's Travels" approximately three centuries ago, his studies can be easily applied on today's society.

The first book of "Gulliver's travels" - "a Voyage to Lilliput" is also the most famous of the lot. The book presents the main character, Lemuel Gulliver, while he is financially motivated to join a ship's crew as the ship's doctor. Surprisingly, the ship is wrecked and Gulliver finds himself swimming towards the nearest shore. Consequent to a long sleep, Gulliver wakes up tied by a mob of miniature, well organized people called Lilliputians.

The small people take him to their leader which decides to use him against his enemies, the Blefuscudians. Gulliver learns that the two nations quarrel about the end on which the boiled eggs should be broken. Wanting to turn the balance of the war in the favor of the Lilliputians, Gulliver intervenes and provides assistance to them. Yet, most of the Lilliputians do not approve Gulliver inhabiting their territory. As Gulliver finds out how they feel about him, he goes to the Blefuscudian emperor which welcomes him.

Shortly after, Gulliver manages to evade the lands of the miniature people as he is saved by a passing English boat. Approximately two months after having safely arrived home, Gulliver is once again put to the test as he joins a ship's crew in the book "a Voyage to Brobdingnag." His misfortune follows him again and his boat is wrecked and the sea brings him to a strange land inhabited by giants.

He makes a connection to the daughter of the farmer which captures him and later Gulliver and his new friend are brought to the court. The king of Brobdingnag does not favor Gulliver and rejects most of his suggestions. After a while Gulliver is picked up by a bird of large proportions and thrown into the sea where an English vessel finally finds him.

In the third book of "Gulliver's travels"- a Voyage to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Glubbdubdrib, Luggnagg, and Japan, Gulliver once again boards a ship which is soon captured by pirates. Gulliver and the rest of the crew are abandoned on an uninhabited island. While trying to devise a plan to insure his survival, Gulliver notices a floating island in the sky. The residents of the island called Laputa bring Gulliver on their land and welcome him.

Gulliver discovers that the Laputans are very strange people that rely mainly on mathematics and disregard women. The Laputan women frequently attempt to leave Laputa in favor of Balnibarbi, a non-floating island in the property of the Laputans. Gulliver is given the chance to visit Balnirabi, but he realizes that its people are deranged when concerning their thinking. Gulliver's journey continues, and,.
