By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships is a prose satire of 1726 by the Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, satirising both human nature and the travellers' tales literary subgenre. It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels to vex the world rather than divert it.
The book was an immediate success. John Gay remarked It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery.
