Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift - Wordsworth Classics

Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels endures as one of the most influential works to fuse political satire with early science fiction imagination.  In this Wordsworth Classics paperback edition, readers gain affordable access to Swift's groundbreaking narrative, presented in a durable and reader-friendly format ideal for both academic study and literary enjoyment.

Originally published in 1726, the novel follows the voyages of Lemuel Gulliver as he encounters meticulously constructed alterative societies - from the diminutive citizens of Lilliput to the colossal inhabitants of Brobdingnag, the mathematically obsessed island of Laputa and the rational, almost alien, culture of the Houyhnhnms.  Through these imagined worlds, Swift interrogates the mechanics of power, reason, colonialism and scientific progress, anticipating many themes that would later define modern science fiction and speculative world building.

The Wordsworth paperback edition provides a high-value reading experience that combines accessibility with scholarly integrity.  The complete and unabridged text is supported by contextual material that helps modern readers appreciate Swift's satirical craftsmanship, historical influences and lasting cultural impact.

Ideal for readers who appreciate early science fiction in a classic literature format, presented in an academic and classroom-friendly paperback edition that is reasonably priced.
