Lemuel Gulliver
Brobdingnag is a fictional land, which is occupied by giants, in Jonathan Swift's 1726 satirical novel "Gulliver's Travels." The story's main character, Lemuel Gulliver, visits the land after the ship on which he is travelling is blown off course. As a result, he becomes separated from a party exploring the unknown land. In the second preface to the book, Gulliver laments that the publisher misspelled the land's name, which Gulliver asserts is actually called Brobdingrag.
