该书通过里梅尔·格列佛船长之口，叙述了周游四国的奇特经历。但仔细体会，却处处揭露着英国社会的黑暗现实，并寄寓着作者的理想。 虽然格列佛起初以为小人国与英国毫不相像，但实际上小人国却是英国的写照.透过那似是荒谬的逻辑，我们看到的是：国王比他的臣民只高出一个指甲，却狂妄地自命为头顶天的宇宙统治者，以其无常的喜怒决定老百姓的命运。官吏们也无需德才兼备，只要跳绳跳得高，就可得到高官厚禄。 小人国的两党以鞋跟高矮为区分标志，这里影射的是当年英国的托利党（即保守党的前身）和辉格党（后来发展成自由党）两党政治；而吃鸡蛋时是从大头敲开还是从小头敲开，则指的是天主教与新教（亦称清教，即加尔文教派）之间关于教会仪式的无稽之争。为了这一区区争端，竟导致了小人国的内战，甚至殃及邻国。由于小人国里的警察制度和诬告成风，格列佛不得不逃离那里。 大人国的人无论体力还是理智都超过了...(展开全部)
