What do you know about Gulliver's Travels
《格列佛游记》是英国作家乔纳森·斯威夫特的一部杰出的游记体讽刺小说，以主角格列佛的角度描述在四个国度历险的奇遇：小人国、大人国、飞岛国和慧駰国。
格列佛遇海难，来到小人国。这里居民身高仅六英寸，君臣贪婪、国家战祸连绵。作者以居高临下的角度，用巨人的眼光俯视人类的荒唐渺小。格列佛好奇心起，误闯大人国。这里居民身高如尖塔，武器精良、国威赫赫。作者以小矮人的角度，仰视人类的粗俗和铁石心肠。
格列佛逢海盗，造访飞岛国。这里属地被笼罩控制，城市和乡间颓败、荒芜。作者以平常的心态，平视人类的疯狂和邪恶本性。
格列佛被叛变，遍历慧駰国。这里统治者高度理性，人形动物邪恶、低劣。作者以理性动物的角度，审视人类的本质。
《格列佛游记》深刻反讽时政的腐败，以离奇、甚至令人作呕的情节，讽刺学究的愚蠢可笑，并且省思人性的不同面向。它是冒险故事，是奇幻小说，是游记，是政论，是讽喻文学，是值得览读的经典之作。
