Gulliver’s Travels《格列佛游记》是英国杰出的讽刺小说作家乔纳森·斯威夫特的代表作。全书分为四部，分别介绍了格列佛在小人国、大人国、飞行岛、巫师国、科幻国、长寿国、日本国和慧骃国等奇异国度的见闻和感受。作者以神奇的想象、夸张的手段、寓言的笔法，对当时的英国社会、人类社会进行了批判和讽刺，尤其对统治阶级的腐败、无能、毒辣、荒淫、贪婪、自大等进行了痛快淋漓的鞭挞。

The misadventures of Lemuel Gulliver certainly are extraordinary. First he is shipwrecked in a strange land, and finds himself a prisoner of the tiny inhabitants of Lilliput. Then he washes up in Brobdingnag, where the people are giants of extraordinary proportions. Further exploits see him stranded with the scientists and philosophers of Laputa, and meeting a race of talking horses who rule over bestial humans.

One of the finest satires in the English language, Gulliver’s Travels delights in the mockery of everything from government to religion and – despite the passing of nearly three centuries – remains just as funny and relevant today.

乔纳森·斯威夫特，1667年出生于爱尔兰都柏林，毕业于都柏林的三一学院。1699年坦普尔去世后，斯威夫特回到都柏林，在教堂从事自己的事业。到了这个时候，他还出版了各种类型的作品，1704年至1729年间，他创作了一系列精彩的讽刺作品，其中《格列佛游记》是zui有名的。1713年至1742年间，他担任都柏林圣帕特里克大教堂院长；他于1745年去世时葬在那里。

他的主要作品有《书籍之战》、《桶的故事》、《论雅典和罗马时代贵族与平民的竞争和分歧》、《格列佛游记》。后者为他赢得了巨大的文学声誉。
