Gullivers Travels To Lilliput And Brobdingnag by Jonathan Swift
or, Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World
A seafaring doctor survives separate shipwrecks that leave him first among a nation of tiny people whose intricate, petty politics and social customs highlight the absurdities of human institutions, and later among a race of giants who view him as a miniature curiosity and expose human weakness and moral flaws from a reversed vantage point; together the two voyages use contrasting scales and sharp satire to examine pride, power, and the relativity of judgment.
