In vier Büchern liefert Jonathan Swift vier fiktive Reiseberichte des englischen Schiffsarztes Lemuel Gulliver. Seine abenteuerlichen Reisen führen ihn auf die Insel Liliput, wo er im Vergleich zu den Einwohnern ein Riese ist und zum Helden wird. Die zweite Reise führt ihn auf die Insel Brobdingnag, und dort ist Gulliver nun der Zwerg zwischen riesenhaften Ureinwohnern, die den Winzling Gulliver als Attraktion bestaunen. Obwohl er viele Gefahren nur knapp überlebt, geht Gulliver erneut auf Reisen und gelangt auf die fliegende Insel Laputa. Hier sind die Einwohner gebildet, aber auf absurde Art unmenschlich. Die letzte Reise schließlich bringt Gulliver zu den Yahoos, äußerst häßlichen Affenwesen, und den Houyhnhnms, noblen Wesen in Pferdegestalt. Letztere nehmen Gulliver leider nicht bei sich auf, und so kehrt er zurück nach England... Die Phantasie-Orte und ihre absurden Bevölkerungen benutzt Swift, um der englischen Politik und Gesellschaft 'auf Umwegen' den Spiegel vorzuhalten. Korrupte Politiker, größenwahnsinnige Staatsoberhäupter, weltfremde Wissenschaftler, aber auch die unappetitlicheren Seiten der 'ganz normalen' Menschen werden hier schonungslos vorgeführt. Jonathan Swift, heute als exzellenter Satiriker gefeiert, wurde für seine beißende Gesellschaftskritik von einigen Zeitgenossen heftig angegriffen.-
