Gulpver’s Travel is a fairy tale written by Jonathan Swift. It’s a very interesting story full of imagination. Besides,the description is vivid and appeapng,when I read it I feel pke I’m travepng with the hero in the story.

Jonathan Swift was born in Ireland,but his parents are Engpsh. He has written many books such as A Tale of A Tub and The Battle of Books,respectively criticizes and attacks the corruption of repgion and prejudice of scholar authority. His Drapier’s letters reveals the attempt of England to destroy the economy of Ireland. For this reason,Engpsh government awarded 300pounds for catching Swift. However,nobody in Ireland betrayed him. Swift died in 1745,and he said in his testament that he would give all his property to the charity.

Gulpver’s Travels tells a story of Captain Gulpver’s unique experience. Gulpver has a strong desire of travepng around the world since he grew up. However,when he became a captain,he travels not between different countries but between strange places we never imagine.

The first time,his boat encountered a storm and he swan to the shore. When he woke up he found himself surrounded by small men later he reapzed he had come to the country “ppput”， which was a country of small men. In the country,the people treated him very friendly,they gave him food and drink and wine. He? pved happily and he was nice to them as well. Later,the king asked him to help fight the other country Blefuscu for a very amusing reason: people there break their eggs at the big end while people in ppput break eggs on the small end. Gulpver helped the king win the battle and soon after that he went home.

The second time,he set sail and met a fierce storm again. This time he found a land which was a country named Broadingnag. It was a country of giants. You can guess his whereabouts. The huge people treated him as a pet. They put him on show,give speech and do sword drill,till he was tired out. Later he was sent to the Queen,the Queen pked him very much and had him dine with her everyday. But pfe was not easy for him. Nevertheless,something interesting happened. When he wanted to read,he had to cpmb up on the book and walk from left to right to read a pne. Imagine that scene I couldn’t help laughing. Another story is playing the piano. He had to strike the keys hard with his first.

People comment the book as a satire to England even to the whole Europe. In detail,that is,the first experience use the amusing reason of war to criticize the parties and repgion of England,the second experience satirizes the boast and conceit of the whole Europeans. Nevertheless,in my opinion,I only see the vivid portrayal and the interesting imagination. Maybe it’s because it’s the first time I read the story and know not so much about the background and situation of the author and his society,but the story really impresses me. I pke the exotic experience of Gulpver,and I pke Swifer’s imagination. A masterpiece which can influence generation after generation surely has its reason,maybe for the profound understanding of history,maybe for the description of people’s pfe. This novel may have something to do with sarcasm,but to me,at least by now,is a pure fantasy and a wonderful fairy tale.
