What lands does Gulliver visit in Gulliver's Travels?

, written by , follows
theGulliver as he travels to four distinct
locations.

Lilliput: His first stop is Lilliput,
a tiny society filled with tiny people. He lands here after a shipwreck in which he is the only
survivor. When he awakens, he finds himself tied down by tiny people who believe him to be their
enemy. You see, to the Lilliputians, he is a giant capable of great feats. However, after
Gulliver agrees to serve the Lilliputians, he is freed and allowed to meet their Emperor. During
his time here, he protects the kingdom by destroying the ships of the Blefuscu, the
Lilliputian's enemy, and learns about life at court, including the politics of the kingdom. The
Emperor and court soon grow weary of Gulliver because he requires far too many resources to be
fed, clothed, and taken care of. Eventually, after urinating on a fire, he is branded a traitor
and sentenced to be blinded. Gulliver escapes and finds an English ship, which takes him back to
England.

Brobdingnag: Gulliver's second stop is
when he is abandoned while trying to fetch water for the ship's crew. In Brobdingnag, Gulliver
finds a land of giants, in which he is just a tiny curiosity. Eventually, Gulliver is purchased
as a gift to the King, whom he delights with stories of England. After some time of touring the
kingdom while in a small box and other misadventures due to his small size, his box is carried
off by an eagle and dropped in the sea, where he is picked up by another English ship and taken
back to England.

Laputa: The third voyage finds
Gulliver's ship overtaken by pirates, who abandon him at sea on a small boat. After some time,
Gulliver arrives at the flying island of Laputa, a land of intellect where the people only care
about abstract ideas and vague speculation. The people here seem to be only interested in
mathematics, philosophy, and theory. While here, Gulliver visits the Academy of Laputa, where
scholars work tirelessly at useless ideas. During this trip, Gulliver also visits Glubbdubdrib,
an island of magicians, Luggnagg, a place where its inhabitants have eternal life though they
continue to age, and then Japan. As before, Gulliver returns to England.

Houyhnhms: Gulliver's final destination is the land
of Houyhnhms, a land of intelligent horses who use human-like creatures called Yahoos as their
servants. The Houyhnhms are distressed by Gulliver's accounts of England and how Yahoos seem to
be in control, though they are seen as only partially rational, so they decide to expel Gulliver
and send him away. Gulliver makes a boat, goes off to sea, is picked up by a Portuguese ship,
and returns safely to England, where he is a changed man, preferring the company of horses to
the humans he now finds disgusting and uncivilized.
