Gulliver's Travels

Through a series of shipwrecks and misguided voyages, Gulliver is captured by miniature people who wage war because of a religious disagreement over how to crack eggs; is sexually assaulted by giants; visits a floating island; and decides that the society of horses is better than that of his fellow man. Tough, filthy, and incisive, this playful satire addresses--among other topics--politics, religion, and society is presented here in its unexpurgated entirety. Also included is Alexander Pope's "Verses on Gulliver's Travels, " which he wrote for his friend Swift and which were included in very early editions of the book.
