If you're intrigued by satires that cleverly dissect the absurdities of human behavior, "Gulliver's Travels" will not disappoint. Swift's masterful use of irony and allegory escorts you on a journey that, while fantastical, mirrors and critiques the political and social issues of his time—and remarkably, many that persist today. Through the lens of Gulliver's fantastical voyages, you'll find yourself reflecting on human nature, power, and morality.
