Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, in Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships, better known as Gulliver’s Travels, was published in 1726. It follows the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, a traveler with a knack for finding himself stranded in unknown, strange countries. These stories are narrated by Gulliver himself, and presented in a plain prose style fit for an adventurer writing a travel book. These adventures are divided into four books for each separate voyage. In the final book Gulliver meets the Yahoos, absurd humanoid creatures meant to represent people without reason, and the Houyhnhnms, a race of horses superior to the Yahoos who teach Gulliver how to live a life based solely on reason.
Perhaps the most famous image from this book is one of the first, that of the Lilliputians, those six-inch-high titans, binding Gulliver with hundreds of tiny ropes after he washes ashore. A Voyage to Lilliput focuses on rule and power, since Gulliver becomes part of court life among the Lilliputians and becomes involved in their politics, as well as negotiations for his own rights and freedoms. He is first brought to their land as a prisoner because the diminutive emperor fears his brute strength, but he gradually earns his freedom, provided he abides by strict rules about where and when he can go.
The Lilliputians are described as having strange customs, such a performing feats of high jumping to win favor at Court. Some of their customs — such as providing rewards for law-abiding citizens as well as punishments for criminals — are described by the narrator as being superior to those of Europe, but the Lilliputians are largely as small-minded as their size would imply. They base their theology around which way they break eggs at breakfast, resulting in much religious and political tension between the Big-Endians and the Little-Endians. They accuse Gulliver of treason because he urinates on the palace to put out a great fire, and he is forced to escape to a neighboring nation to save his own life.
