Gullivers Travels by Jonathan Swift Gullivers Travels, or Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships is a 1726 prose satire by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, satirising both human nature and the "travellers tales" literary subgenre.It is Swifts best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. Swift claimed that he wrote Gullivers Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it".The book was an immediate success. The English dramatist John Gay remarked "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." In 2015, Robert McCrum released his selection list of 100 best novels of all time in which Gullivers Travels is listed as "a satirical masterpiece".It is uncertain exactly when Swift started writing Gullivers Travels. (Much of the writing was done at Loughry Manor in Cookstown, County Tyrone, whilst Swift stayed there.) Some sources[which?] suggest as early as 1713 when Swift, Gay, Pope, Arbuthnot and others formed the Scriblerus Club with the aim of satirising popular literary genres.

This collection brings to the foreground Swifts profound concern for moral integrity and societal issues, as he employs satirical fervor within the framework of religious discourse.

In "The Journal to Stella," Jonathan Swift presents an intimate correspondence through a series of letters penned to his beloved friend, Esther Johnson, whom he affectionately called Stella. This work, a hallmark of Swifts epistolary style, is steeped in wit, humor, and poignant reflections on personal and political matters of the early 18th century.
