Reading it at your level: B1B2
Lemuel Gulliver is a ship's surgeon who keeps landing in impossible countries — a land of six-inch-tall people, a kingdom of giants, a floating island of scientists. Swift wrote it as sharp political satire, but the story works just as well as a straight adventure. The style is deliberately plain and matter-of-fact, which makes it more readable than you might expect for an eighteenth-century text.
