Embark on an extraordinary adventure with "Gulliver's Travels," the timeless satire by Jonathan Swift, brought to life by the engaging narration of Ram Ranjini. This classic tale follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship’s surgeon who finds himself cast away on strange and fantastical lands, each with its own unique culture and peculiarities. From the miniature people of Lilliput to the giant inhabitants of Brobdingnag, Gulliver's journeys offer a sharp and witty commentary on human nature, society, and the absurdities of the world.

Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island in miniature where he towers above the inhabitants and surroundings. His subsequent encounters - with the brash giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical brutish Yahoos, the flying creatures of Laputa - give Gulliver bitter insights into life, love, and humanity.

Lemuel Gulliver always dreamed of sailing across the seas, but he never imagined the places his travels would take him.
