This classic novel of political and social satire features Lemuel Gulliver, "first a surgeon, then a captain of several ships," who is washed ashore after a shipwreck and finds himself a prisoner of a race of people less than six inches tall. After his escape, the situation is reversed when he's surrounded by giants twelve times his size. Next he finds himself in the clouds, in a society of earnest but ultimately hapless mathematicians. Finally, his journey brings him to an island where noble and intelligent horses must deal with a race of uncouth ape-men: the Yahoos. The satire is thick and unrelenting, still as relevant today as when Swift wrote it. Gulliver's Travels is one of those novels that everyone should read.
