This story is a much-loved satire on human nature and behaviour that still rings true today. Follow Lemuel Gulliver’s Travels to the fantastic lands of Lilliput, a place of little people who are violently divided over the most trivial of differences, to Brobdingnag, a land of cultured giants, and Laputa, a flying island where the inhabitants pursue impractical science and research. This edition is illustrated throughout and contains some full colour plates. ‘“My little friend Grildrig, you have made a most admirable panegyric upon your country: you have clearly proved, that ignorance, idleness, and vice are the proper ingredients for qualifying as a legislator; that laws are best explained, interpreted, and applied by those whose interest and abilities lie in perverting, confounding, and eluding them.’","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55921134469499,"sku":"10662974","price":17.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_492046_jpg.jpg?v=1763388834","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/gullivers-travels-by-jonathan-swift-j-m-dent-1950","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
