Gullivers Travels is a work of fiction pseudonymously authored by the British satirist Jonathan Swift. The first edition was published in 1726 with major changes by the publisher, since he was afraid the book in its original version would offend a lot of people. In 1735 the complete version was published. Posing as Dr Lemuel Gulliver, Swift purported to report his travels to a series of strange cultures. This mimicked a style of travel reporting that was common at the time, including the outright invention of outlandish & savage cultures deliberately designed to give Englishmen a critical point of view of their own society & habits. Daniel Defoe s travel fantasy Robinson Crusoe, it is useful to recall, had been published only a few years previously, to universal acclaim. Posters Of Gullivers Travels
