Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the fantastical journey of the author, a ship's surgeon, to the fantastical land of Lilliput, inhabited by a race of tiny people only six inches tall. After his initial capture, the author gradually earns the trust of the Lilliputians and even the emperor, providing commentary on the political and societal structures of both Lilliput and his own homeland. Through his interactions and observations, the author explores themes of power, perspective, and the nature of government, contrasting the customs, beliefs, and values of two vastly different worlds, while providing a critique of early 18th-century English society. This satirical tale offers a humorous and thought-provoking examination of human nature and the complexities of societal norms.
