Gullivers Travels, first published in 1726, is Jonathan Swifts best known full-length work, and is both a parody of the travellers tales popular at the time and a satire on human nature.

Throughout the four stories, ships surgeon Gulliver travels to distant lands, meets strange new peoples like the diminutive Lilliputians and the gigantic Brobdingnags, defends his ship from a pirate attack, and is marooned on a deserted island.

The popularity of Gullivers Travels has endured since its original publication, and Swifts unique terminology has found its way into common language with such expressions as lilliputian, yahoo, and the computer terms big-endian and little-endian.
