In four sections, Gulliver's Travels, also known as Journeys into Several Remote Nations of the World, Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and Then a Captain of Several Ships is a 1726 prose satire by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift that satirizes human nature and the travelers' tales literary subgenre. It is Swift's best-known full-length work and an English literature classic. Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels to vex rather than divert the world. The book was an instant success. It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery, English dramatist John Gay said. In 2015, Robert McCrum released his list of the 100 best novels of all time, calling Gulliver's Travels a satirical masterpiece. The journey begins with a brief preamble in which Lemuel Gulliver describes his life and history before his voyages. Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck on his first voyage and becomes a prisoner of a race of tiny people, less than 6 inches (15 cm) tall, who live on the island country of Lilliput.
