Guliver (Guliver's Travels)

Gulliver is the protagonist of Jonathan Swift’s satirical novel "Gulliver’s Travels." He is a ship's surgeon who embarks on extraordinary sea voyages, discovering fantastical lands and curious societies. Through his adventures—such as visiting tiny Lilliputians and giant Brobdingnagians—Swift uses Gulliver’s experiences to critique human nature, politics, and society. The story combines adventure with sharp satire, revealing how human pride, folly, and societal flaws persist across different cultures and contexts. Gulliver’s travels serve as both entertaining stories and a mirror reflecting the complexities and contradictions of 18th-century Europe.
