It is Swift s best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. The book became popular as soon as it was published. John Gay wrote in a 1726 letter to Swift that It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery. Since then, it has never been out of print.  The novel is divided in four parts: Part I: A Voyage to Lilliput Part II: A Voyage to Brobdingnag Part III: A Voyage to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib, and Japan Part IV: A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhnhnms Jonathan Swift (1667–1745) was an Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer (first for the Whigs, then for the Tories), poet and cleric who became Dean of St Patrick s Cathedral, Dublin.

Swift is remembered for works such as Gulliver s Travels, A Modest Proposal, A Journal to Stella, Drapier s Letters, The Battle of the Books, An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity and A Tale of a Tub.
