的介绍
not six inches
high!
When Lemuel Gulliver sets
off from London on a sea voyage, little does he
know the many incredible and
unbelievable misadventures awaiting him.
Shipwrecked at sea and nearly drowned,
he washes ashore upon an exotic
island
called Lilliput-where the people are only six
inches tall! Next he visits a
land of
incredible giants called Brobdingnagians. They are
more than sixty feet
tall! He travels
to Laputa, a city that floats in the sky, and to
Glubbdubdrib, the
Island of Sorcerers.
His final voyage brings him into contact with the
Yahoos-a
brutish race of subhumans-and
an intelligent and virtuous race of horse, the
Houyhnhnms.
First published in 1726,
Gulliver's Travels remains one of the most
exciting
fantasy adventures ever
written.

Spotlight Reviews
Reviewer: C. Gilbert
I haven't read this book
since I read it as a child, and it was amazing how
much
of it had stuck with me, and how
vividly. There were sections (particularly in
Brobdingnag) where I could almost
recite word-for-word what was going to
happen next.
Happily, like
Alice in Wonderland, this is a book that ages very
well. There was
still the element of
being just a plain old good travel story with
strong images
(particularly in the
Lilliput and Brobdingnag sections) but there was
also a
