A level 4 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Written for Learners of English by Jonathan Swift.

Soon I felt something alive moving along my leg and up my body to my face, and when I looked down, I saw a very small human being, only fifteen centimetres tall … I was so surprised that I gave a great shout.'

But that is only the first of many surprises which Gulliver has on his travels. He visits a land of giants and a flying island, meets ghosts from the past and horses which talk . . .

Quotes

  • bakhtiyarhas quoted5 years ago
    He believed, very simply, that every problem can be solved by honest, sensible people, and that the political life of a country must have no secrets and must be open for all to see and understand. Of course, we know that this is impossible, so perhaps his opinion of us is not worth considering
  • bakhtiyarhas quoted5 years ago
    Or there may be a difference of opinion between two countries: for example, whether uniforms should be black, white, red or grey. Sometimes we fight because the enemy’s too strong, sometimes because he isn’t strong enough. Sometimes our neighbours want the things we have, or have the things we want, so we both fight until they take ours or give us theirs.
  • bakhtiyarhas quoted5 years ago
    ‘No!’ he cried in horror. ‘Don’t tell me! I don’t want to know how to murder people like that. I would rather give half my country away than know the secret of this powder. How can a tiny creature like you have such inhuman, cruel ideas? Never speak to me of this again!’
