Leer Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World online gratis (en inglés)

"Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World" by Jonathan Swift is a satirical prose novel published in 1726. Ship surgeon Lemuel Gulliver embarks on extraordinary voyages to bizarre lands—encountering tiny people obsessed with trivial disputes, giants who mock European society, impractical intellectuals, and rational horses living among savage human-like creatures. Through these strange encounters, Swift crafts a biting satire of human nature and civilization's flaws. Originally written as political commentary rather than children's fare, this enduring classic continues to challenge readers with its sharp critique of society.

Before he quitted Redriff, he left the custody of the following papers
in my hands, with the liberty to dispose of them as I should think fit.
I have carefully perused them three times. The style is very plain and
simple; and the only fault I find is, that the author, after the manner
of travellers, is a little too circumstantial. There is an air of truth
apparent through the whole; and indeed the author was so distinguished
for his veracity, that it became a sort of proverb among his neighbours
at Redriff, when any one affirmed a thing, to say, it was as true as if
Mr. Gulliver had spoken it.

By the advice of several worthy persons, to whom, with the author’s
permission, I communicated these papers, I now venture to send them
into the world, hoping they may be, at least for some time, a better
entertainment to our young noblemen, than the common scribbles of
politics and party.

This volume would have been at least twice as large, if I had not made
bold to strike out innumerable passages relating to the winds and
tides, as well as t
