Extended data:
Gulliver's Travels is an ironic classic novel, which occupies an important position in the history of the development of English novel forms. It inherited the tradition of medieval folk literature and set a brilliant example for later generations.
In the novel creation, Swift's enlightenment thought can be fully reflected. The combination of fantasy and reality in the book shows his unique skills and superb satirical ability, with profound ideological content and unique artistic effect by using satirical techniques such as using small metaphors to describe the big, using ancient ones to satirize the present and using animals to satirize the present.
