Gulliver's Travels "is Swift's representative work, a book that goes far beyond the scope of" children's books ". Gulliver's Travels consists of four parts: Travels of Lilliput, Travels of Adulthood, Travels of Feidao, and Travels of Huisi. All travelogues are a comprehensive and merciless critique of British society in the first half of the 18th century; Especially for the corruption, incompetence, boredom, cruelty, debauchery, greed, arrogance, and other aspects of rulers, they have been thoroughly exposed and mercilessly criticized. This critical voice even reached a sharp and extreme level in the travelogue of Huisi Kingdom, with Swift pointing the finger directly at the entire human race, which is deeply sinful, foolish, dirty, and irrational. The kingdom of Hui Si, composed of horses, was his ideal utopia. Gulliver was exiled by the wise and rational Hui Si, and returned to his homeland where he was born and raised but despised, filled with melancholy. He could only angrily and helplessly spend the rest of his life with a group of "wild barbarians". The travelogue of Huisi Kingdom has been sharply criticized by many writers, among which the famous writer Thackeray's passage is the most representative. He said that Swift is: "A demon, urgently clamoring, cursing humanity with gritted teeth, tearing off every trace of dignity, abandoning every bit of masculinity, shameless, with dirty words, dirty thoughts, anger, wildness, and filth.
