Gulliver's Travels

Swift writes, "I felt something alive moving on my left leg, which advancing gently forward over my breast, came almost up to my chin; I perceived it to be a human creature not six inches high, with a bow and arrow in his hands, and a quiver at his back." Thus we center new worlds in which the very small and the very large both conclude that our hero, Captain Lemuel Gulliver, is a complete moron. Swift's outrageous comedy keeps us superbly entertained while he satirizes civilization.
