Para um médico, o capitão Lemuel Gulliver é um grande aventureiro. Neste clássico da literatura, sabemos de quatro de suas principais viagens: a Lilipute, cujos habitantes não chegam a seis polegadas de altura; a Brobdingnag, cujo menor anão do reino tem nove metros de altura; a duas ilhas, uma voadora e outra de feiticeiros, além de uma academia com pesquisadores esquisitos; e, por fim, conhece os houyhnhnms, cavalos civilizados, e os yahoos, espécie de hominídeos selvagens.
