Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Regions of the World

This Project Gutenberg file is a school abridgement of Gulliver's Travels. It covers Lilliput, where Gulliver towers over the inhabitants, and Brobdingnag, where he becomes the small and vulnerable traveller. Changes of scale give Swift a way to question political pride and the habits people take for granted.

Choose this edition for a shorter introduction to the first two voyages. It does not include the later journeys to Laputa and the Houyhnhnms. For all four voyages, use an unabridged edition such as Project Gutenberg ebook 829 and check that your print or ebook copy matches before reading and listening together.

At roughly 52,300 words, Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Regions of the World runs about 6 hours at 1x narration speed. That figure is an estimate based on a typical narration pace. The exact length depends on the voice and the playback speed you choose.
