Lemuel Gulliver was the son of a poor English landowner. At the age of fourteen, his father sent him to study in Cambridge, but due to a lack of funds, Gulliver had to become a student of a famous London doctor, and then a surgeon on a ship.
For three years Gulliver traveled on different ships. In between travels, he married and tried to settle in London, but his income was too small, and he again became a ship's doctor.

Gulliver's Travels (1996). Director: Charles Sturridge. Source: Odnoklassniki.
During one of the voyages, a shipwreck occurred. Miraculously, the surviving Gulliver ended up in the country of Lilliput, inhabited by little men no more than sixteen centimeters tall.
To the Lilliput Gulliver seemed like a giant, they got scared of him, tied him up while he slept, and put him on a chain. Soon the emperor of Lilliput was convinced that the giant was kind and generous, and set him free. Gulliver began to travel around the country, studying its culture and social structure.
Gulliver learned that Lilliputia was at war with the empire of Blefuscu, located on a neighboring island. The emperor asked Gulliver to help him in the war with the Blefuskans, Gulliver crossed the narrow strait between the countries and delivered the largest enemy ships to Lilliput, after which the emperor wished to capture the rest of the enemy fleet.
