'''''Gulliver's Travels''''', or '''''Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, in Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of several Ships''''', is a 1726 [[fiction]]al [[satire]] by [[Jonathan Swift]]. The novel follows main character Lemuel Gulliver and his journey to four countries. 

The four countries are Lilliput, a land of little people, Brobdingnag, a land of big people, Laputa, a land of intelligent but useless people, and Houyhnhnm, a land of horses. 

Swift wrote the novel for adults to show that some people and governments were wrong. The story was intended to make them change.

In 2010, a [[Gulliver's Travels (2010 movie)|movie version]] was made starring [[Jack Black]].

Gulliver travelled because his business failed many times. Gulliver travelled in a ship because he was a trained surgeon so he helped the people on the ship. Gulliver lost his weapons and wanted to get them back. Gulliver was sent by a surgeon to go on the ship to be able to help. Gulliver didn’t want to travel but he had to because he was a surgeon and he was forced to. Gulliver travelled to 9 different places. The travel begins with a short preamble in which  [[Lemuel Gulliver|Gulliver]] gives a brief outline of his life and history before his voyages.  Gulliver loved his wife but loved the sea more. His family wasn’t on the ship with him.
