Gulliver's Travels, originally titled Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships, is a 1726 prose satire by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift. The novel satirises human nature and the imaginary "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is one of the most famous classics of English literature and popularised the fictional island of Lilliput. The English poet John Gay remarked of the work, "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." The book has been adapted for over a dozen theatrical performances, films, television, and radio over the centuries.
