During his first voyage, Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and finds himself a prisoner of a race of tiny people, less than 6 inches tall, who are inhabitants of the island country of Lilliput. After giving assurances of his good behavior, he is given a residence in Lilliput and becomes a favorite of the court. From there, the book follows Gulliver's observations on the Court of Lilliput. He is also given the permission to roam around the city on a condition that he must not harm their subjects. Gulliver assists the Lilliputians to subdue their neighbors, the Blefuscudians, by stealing their fleet. However, he refuses to reduce the island nation of Blefuscu to a province of Lilliput, displeasing the King and the court. Gulliver is charged with treason for, among other "crimes," "making water" in the capital (even though he was putting out a fire and saving countless lives.) He is convicted and sentenced to be blinded, but with the assistance of a kind friend, he escapes to Blefuscu...

Romanen Gullivers reiser er Jonathan Swifts mest kjente verk og en av de største klassikerne innenfor engelsk litteratur overhodet. Foreligger med dette i nyoversatt, komplett og illustrert utgave på norsk. Vi følger Gulliver til «Lilleputt», «Brobdingnag», «Laputa» og «Houyhnhnmenes land» - fire riker som på sett og vis alltid har eksistert og fortsatt eksisterer - arenaer der menneskelig dumhet, arroganse, grådighet, politisk maktkamp, fantasteri og fornuftsstridige handlinger får utfolde seg i fritt lende. Fortellingene om Gulliver betraktes gjerne som en kritisk allegori over Swifts samtid, en satire om den menneskelige natur og en parodi på «reiseberetningen». Da boken utkom i 1726, ble den straks en enorm suksess og ble i løpet av kort tid oversatt til mange språk. Gullivers reiser har siden forblitt populær - lest av generasjon etter generasjon, også av barn, og trykt i et ukjent antall opplag. «Som jeg elsker engelsk dristighet, som jeg elsker dem som sier det de tenker!» skrev Voltaire entusiastisk etter å ha lest boken.

Gulliver's Travels is a prose satire by Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, that is both a satire on human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. He himself claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it". Gulliver's Travels is an adventure story involving several voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, who, because of a series of mishaps en route to recognized ports, ends up, instead, on several unknown islands living with people and animals of unusual sizes, behaviors, and philosophies, but who, after each adventure, is somehow able to return to his home in England where he recovers from these unusual experiences and then sets out again on a new voyage. The book became popular as soon as it was published. John Gay wrote in a 1726 letter to Swift that "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." It was once compared in terms of book sales with Love in Excess.
