description: Shipwrecked castaway Lemuel Gulliver's encounters with the petty, diminutive Lilliputians, the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the abstracted scientists of Laputa, the philosophical Houyhnhnms, and the brutish Yahoos give him new, bitter insights into human behavior. Swift's fantastic and subversive book remains supremely relevant in our own age of distortion, hypocrisy, and irony.Arranged in three parts from the original of Jonathan Swift by M. Dodge Holmes, Ph.D., Teacher of English, William Penn High School, Philadelphia. "In this volume many long words have been shortened and some parts of the book that only grown folks could understand and like have been omitted."
