Gulliver's Travels background

Gulliver's Travels

An Englishman returns home after a nine-year absence, sharing fantastical tales of tiny Lilliputians, giant Brobdingnagians, the floating island of Laputa, and the intelligent horse-like Houyhnhnms.

A satirical tale by Jonathan Swift, adapted into an all-star production, follows a normal man who returns home after eight years away. He shares fantastical stories about his adventures, including being thought of as a giant in the land of Lilliput, but actually being only six inches tall in Brobdingnag. The story also explores his visits to a floating island of scientists, obsessed with reason, and a land where he is forced to confront his similarities to beasts and his own humanity.
