Gulliver's Travels is a world famous book by Jonathan Swift. The germs of this book have been traced to the celebrated Scriblerus Club which came into existence in the last months of Queen Anne's reign. At that time, Swift joined with John Arbuthnot, Alexander pope, John Gay and a few other writers in a scheme to ridicule all false tastes in learning. The full title of Gulliver's Travels is Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World in Four Parts by Lemuel Gulliver, first a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships. The book was published anonymously by the end of October in 1726. It was published negotiating with the publishers having been carried on by Swift's friend's Charles Ford and Erasmas Lewis. The book is written into four parts. They are Part-I: A Voyage to Lilliput, Part-II: A Voyage to Brobdingnag, Part-III: A Voyage to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Glubbdubdrib, Luggnagg and Japan and Part-IV: A Voyage to the Country of Houyhnhnms. Gulliver's Travels has not only become a classic as a satire on the human race but also classic as a Children's book. Swift says that the object of this book is to vex the world. The book is an allegorical satire intended to instruct mankind. Its appeal is immense and permanent.
