Abstract
GULLIVER’S TRAVELS
Lemuel Gulliver recounts his fascinating journey to far away islands all over the world. He tells you about his run-ins with Lilliputians, a group of tiny, combative people; the peaceful giants on Brobdignang; the maths and music obsessed men of Laputa; the foolish scientists
on Lagado; and the brilliant horses on the island of the Houyhnhnms.
The satirical work of Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels gives you a good idea of the problems that were present in Ireland and England in the 1700’s.
