"Gullivers Travels" tells the story of Lemuel Gulliver, a ships surgeon who has a number of rather extraordinary adventures, comprising four sections or "Books." In Book I, his ship is blown off course and Gulliver is shipwreckedHe wakes up flat on his back on the shore, and discovers that he cannot move; he has been bound to the earth by thousands of tiny crisscrossing threadsHe soon discovers that his captors are tiny men about six inches high, natives of the land of LilliputHe is released from his prone position only to be confined in a ruined temple by ninety-one tiny but unbreakable chainsIn spite of his predicament, Gulliver is at first impressed by the intelligence and organizational abilities of the LilliputiansIn this section, Swift introduces us to the essential conflict of Book I: the naive, ordinary, but compassionate "Everyman" at the mercy of an army of people with "small minds"
