LOS VIAJES DE GULLIVER
Los viajes de Gulliver (1726) aparecido como obra anónima siete años después del Robinson Crusoe de Defoe cuenta los fantásticos viajes del cirujano y capitán de barco Lemuel Gulliver tras su naufragio en una isla perdida. Pronto Gulliver descubrirá que la isla está habitada por una increíble sociedad de seres humanos de tan solo seis pulgadas de estatura los liliputienses engreidos y vanidosos ciudadanos de Liliput. En un segundo viaje Gulliver descubre Brodbingnag una tierra poblada por hombres gigantes de gran capacidad práctica pero incapaces de pensamientos abstractos. En su tercer viaje va a parar a la isla volante de Laputa cuyos habitantes son científicos e intelectuales ciertamente pedantes obsesionados con su particular campo de investigación pero totalmente ignorantes del resto de la realidad.
