"Gulliver's Travels" Taken from the flap of the book: A parody of the travelogue, Gulliver's Travels crosses the boundaries of its time and form. The topical issues that Jonathan Swift deals with in it find universal dimension because of his brilliant innovations. The writer challenges all human endeavours towards perfection. He crashes man's pride in rationality and satirizes astringently his political, ethical and scientific sagacity. In the guise of a popular story for children the book, in fact, probes deep into man's illusion about his infallible nature.
