Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World

Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World by Lemuel Gulliver, Surgeon, and Captain of Several Ships, commonly known as Gulliver's Travels, is a prose satire by Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, that is both a satire on human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. The book became popular as soon as it was published. John Gay wrote in a 1726 letter to Swift that "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery."
