Jonathan Swift`s classic satirical fable was first published following the `South Sea Bubble` and other financial and commercial scandals which sadly strike a chord in our own times. It introduced many fictional lands and peoples which have since enteredthe English language, including the minute inhabitants of `Lilliput`, the giants of `Brobdingnag`, and the Yahoos in the land of the `Houyhnhnms`. Swift`s attack on the futility of science which is not applied to human betterment in its widest sense, is relevant to today`s post-industrial culture.
`Gulliver`s` Travels has always appealed to young and old alike.
