"Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift is a wild series of adventures widely acclaimed as "universally read" and highly influential. After a shipwreck, an Englishman discovers new, strange lands, and learns of the customs and governments of their inhabitants.

Soon afterwards, the spectacular giant becomes a favorite of the court, and is given a good view of the politics of the kingdom.
