Quizás sea por ello que los niños, cuando llegan a Liliput por primera vez, lo hacen con los ojos limpios y brillantes; pero cuando ya adultos viajan de nuevo a esa isla, descubren paisajes menos luminosos que les pasaron desapercibidos en su primera visita. En parte sátira demoledora, en parte relato fantástico, Los viajes de Gulliver se ha convertido por derecho propio en uno de los clásicos universales más leídos.
