Gulliver's Travels (1726), is a novel by Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift. It is both a satire on human nature and a parody of the "travellers' tales." It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. The book presents itself as a simple traveller's narrative with the title Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, its author-ship assigned only to "Lemuel Gulliver," first a surgeon, then a captain of several ships". The book became tremendously popular as soon as it was published, and since has never been out of print.

Joe Kinneary, founder and president of Gulliver's Movers, spent his youth traveling through Europe as the son of a U.S. military contract lawyer. Inspired by Swift's works as a young boy Joe found it fitting to name his company Gulliver's Movers, Swift and Gentle Giants.

He 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.

Swift is probably the foremost prose satirist in the English language. He originally published all of his works under pseudonyms—such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M.B. Drapier—or anonymously. He is also known for being a master of two styles of satire: the Horatian and Juvenalian styles. For those of you who have never read his books, he is highly recommended and appropriate for young adults and adults alike.
