格列佛游记（英文原版，Gullivers Travels）的介绍 When bending my eyes downward as much as I could, I perceived a human not six inches high! When Lemuel Gulliver sets off from London on a sea voyage, little does he know the many incredible and unbelievable misadventures awaiting him. Shipwrecked at sea and nearly drowned, he washes ashore upon an exotic island called Lilliput-where the people are only six inches tall! Next he visits a land of incredible giants called Brobdingnagians. They are more than sixty feet tall! He travels to Laputa, a city that floats in the sky, and to Glubbdubdrib, the Island of Sorcerers. His final voyage brings him into contact with the Yahoos-a brutish race of subhumans-and an intelligent and virtuous race of horse, the Houyhnhnms. First published in 1726, Gullivers Travels remains one of the most exciting fantasy adventures ever written. 格列佛游记（英文原版，Gullivers Travels）的书评 Spotlight Reviews Reviewer: C.

The latter two sections of the book-- Laputa and the land of the Houyhnhnms-- are perhaps a little less vivid for being more pointed in their satirical content (interestingly I have no memory of these sections from my childhood reading) but that in no way detracts from the value of the book. A must-read. Reviewer: Brian P. McDonnell (Holbrook, MA USA) Gullivers Travels are broken up into four parts. The first two
