According to the passage, over the years "Gulliver's Travels" became ........ .
When "Gulliver's Travels" was published in 1726, the author's name did not appear on the
book. The title page read, "Travels into several remote Nations of the World, by Lemuel
Gulliver ... " Many people accepted this as fact. Travel books of the time told many tales that
were no more strange than the imaginary adventures of Gulliver. One sea captain even claim
that he knew captain Gulliver well. Other readers condemned the book as full of
exaggerations. Although it became one of the most famous books for children, it was not
written for children. It was savage satire aimed at the human race. The tiny Lilliputians are
vain malicious and bloodthirsty. The king and the court of Lilliput parody of the English king
and court. The giants of Brobdingnag are amiable but commonplace and sensitive. Laputa is
full of the foolish philosophers and scientists whom Swift despised. The Houyhnhnms are
horses who use degraded men. Yahoos, as men use horses elsewhere. Looking at mankind
through the eyes of horses. Swift sees people as vicious, greedy and ignorant. From its first
appearance, "Gulliver's Travels" delighted its readers instead of shocking them. In spite of his
bitterness, Swift took a dry delight in making his narrative sound real even when it was
fantastic. Children could enjoy the marvellous adventures of a traveler among pygmies and
giants, on a flying island, and in a country where horses talk. Thus, "Gulliver's Travels" soon
became a children's classic.
