By Wendell Phillips Garrison

Book Overview

The New Gulliver is a satirical novel written by Wendell Phillips Garrison and published in 1898. The book is a modern retelling of Jonathan Swift's classic novel Gulliver's Travels, but with a new twist. Instead of the protagonist being a shipwrecked sailor, the story follows a wealthy American businessman named Lemuel Gulliver who travels to various countries around the world.Throughout his travels, Gulliver encounters a variety of strange and fantastical creatures, including a race of giant ants, a society of intelligent horses, and a nation of microscopic people. Each encounter serves as a commentary on various social and political issues of the time, such as imperialism, capitalism, and racism.Despite its satirical nature, The New Gulliver is also a work of science fiction, as it explores the possibilities of what life on other planets and in other dimensions might be like. The book is written in a humorous and engaging style, making it an enjoyable read for both adults and children.
