Gulliver's Travels is one of the most comprehensive and brilliantly workedout satires on man and his civilisation. It is a novel in four parts which showsGulliver's travels first among little people, then among enormous giants, thenamong idealists and dreamers and finally among horses! Swift's basic object inall the four parts is to deflate human pride by showing all the pomp andcircumstance of human pretensions, "all the stylisation of cruelty, thevanities, rituals, political catchwords, meaningless controversies, thatcharacterise man in society..."
