Gulliver's Travels was written by English author Jonathan Swift.
Gulliver's Travels is a satire of human nature, which uses parody, irony, exaggeration, and other literary devices to explore the theme of man's pride and folly. It is also a parody of the travel narrative genre, as Gulliver is often at the mercy of the strange societies he visits, and is often unable to control his own destiny. The novel has been adapted for film, television, and the stage numerous times and has become a classic of English literature.
