About this listen

This text contains excerpts from an edition of Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels," specifically focusing on Parts I and II: "A Voyage to Lilliput" and "A Voyage to Brobdingnag." It includes preface information detailing the book's reception by children despite its satirical intent, and the editor's notes on this particular edition's modernization. The main body of the text recounts Gulliver's initial experiences in Lilliput, his capture and interaction with the tiny inhabitants, and a similar narrative shift to his encounters with giants in Brobdingnag, illustrating his contrasting perspectives as both a giant and a miniature figure. The source also includes detailed descriptions of the cultures, politics, and daily life within these fantastical lands.
