"Gulliver's Reizen naar Lilliput en Brobdingnag" by Jonathan Swift is a satirical novel written in the early 18th century. This classic work follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon who embarks on a series of fantastical voyages, beginning with his arrival in Lilliput, a land inhabited by tiny people. The narrative delves into themes of human nature, society, and politics, presenting a critique of contemporary norms through Gulliver's extraordinary experiences. The opening of the novel introduces us to Gulliver's background, detailing his upbringing and education before he takes to the sea to earn a living. After enduring a shipwreck, he swims to the shores of Lilliput, where he finds himself captured by its diminutive inhabitants. Bound and unable to move, Gulliver is soon discovered by the inhabitants, who react with a mixture of curiosity and fear. As he begins to interact with these tiny people, their initial hostilities and perplexities set the stage for a series of cultural exchanges that highlight the absurdities of both their society and Gulliver's own.
