Illustration from Gulliver’s Travels
Lemuel Gulliver, the title character of the satire Gulliver’s Travels (1726) by Anglo-Irish writer Jonathan Swift, finds himself in a strange land once again—Brobdingnag—after his ship is caught in a storm. There, in a nation populated by giants, Gulliver resembles the tiny Lilliputians in the land of Liliput, which he has recently left.
