The book is written in first person from the point of view of Lemuel Gulliver, a surgeon and ship captain who visit remote regions of the world, and describe four adventures.In the first, Gulliver is the only survivor of a shipwreck, and he swims to Liliput, where he is tied up by people who are less than 6 inches (15 cm) tall.
