I looked down and I saw a man. He was smaller than my hand. Forty more little men followed him. This is Gulliver in Lilliput. He travels across the sea from England and has an accident. He arrives in a country of very very small people. What will they do with him How will he talk to them And why are the Big-enders fighting the Little-enders Is their fight really important Readers know that the stories about the country of Lilliput and the other countries in Gulliver s Travels are not true. But when we read the book we see our world through the eyes of the little people and later through the eyes of big people and horses. Swift wants us to think about our ideas and our lives and perhaps to change them. But at the same time we enjoy the stories. Children like them because they are clever and funny. But Gulliver s Travels is for people of all ages. Swift wanted everybody to leam from his book. Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin Ireland in 1667. He went to university to Trinity College Dublin and after that he worked for a writer in London. Then he wrote too. Swift wrote well about the ideas of his time. But some people did not like his new ideas and in 1714 Swift went back to Ireland. He wanted to help the Irish people and he wrote about the English in Ireland. They were often unkind people felt. At the same time Swift wrote Gulliver s Travels. The book was in the shops in 1726 - and it is there now. PART 1 A JOURNEY TO LILLIPUT Chapter 1 I Come to Lilliput My father lived in the north of England but he was not very rich. I was the youngest of five brothers. I left school when I was seventeen years old. My father could not pay for me after that. I travelled on the ship Antelope to the South Seas. We left Bristol in May 1699. I will not write down everything about our journey on those seas. But I will tell you this. On our way to the East Indies a great wind carried us the wrong way.
