Editorial overview Touché

Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift, published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform in October 2017, is a classic work of fiction that explores the absurdities of human nature through fantastical adventures. In this edition, spanning 150 pages, readers follow Lemuel Gulliver as he is shipwrecked and finds himself on the island of Lilliput, inhabited by tiny people whose trivial disputes highlight the ridiculousness of societal norms.

Throughout his journey, Gulliver encounters various societies, including the giants of Brobdingnag and the philosophical Houyhnhnms, each providing him with profound and often bitter insights into human behavior. This narrative serves as a sharp satire, reflecting on mankind’s flaws and presenting a distorted view of humanity through its interactions with the diminutive and the monstrous. The themes of fantasy and satire are woven throughout, inviting readers to contemplate the complexities of human existence.


Official synopsis Publisher

Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island inhabited by little people, whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters – with the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical Houyhnhnms and brutish Yahoos – give Gulliver new, bitter insights into human behaviour. Swift’s savage satire views mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified and finally bestial species, presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves
