Summary: "Gulliver utazásai" by Jonathan Swift is a satirical novel written in the early 18th century. The book follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon and restless traveler, who embarks on extraordinary voyages to fantastical lands inhabited by strange and symbolic peoples. Centered on adventure and social commentary, the story uses Gulliver's encounters to sharply critique human society, politics, and nature. The opening of the novel provides both an introduction and a distinct interpretative lens through an extended preface or essay, highlighting Swift's deep cynicism about humanity. The narrative then shifts to Gulliver himself, who recounts his background and practical education, emphasizing his preparedness for travel. Soon after, Gulliver survives a shipwreck and finds himself a giant among a civilization of tiny people, the Lilliputians, who capture and gradually come to carefully scrutinize him. The early chapters vividly detail Gulliver’s disorienting arrival in Lilliput, his initial captivity, the curiosity and fear he inspires, and the measured way he gains trust, while also showcasing Swift’s blend of imaginative world-building and biting social allegory.
