Una satira astuta e ingegnosa utilizza inversioni comiche per offrire spunti sulla natura umana e sulla società. Segue i quattro viaggi di Lemuel Gulliver, un chirurgo di bordo. A Lilliput, scopre un mondo in miniatura, sovrastando i suoi abitanti e osservando la loro società da una prospettiva quasi divina. Al contrario, a Brobdingnag, Gulliver diventa la curiosità, esposto nei mercati come un uomo in miniatura tra giganti. Il suo viaggio prosegue verso Laputa, un'isola volante dove incontra una società di speculatori distaccati dalla realtà, che permettono alla loro patria di cadere in rovina mentre si ossessionano per idee impraticabili. Infine, raggiunge la terra degli Houyhnhnms, cavalli gentili che ammira, in netto contrasto con gli Yahoos, creature sporche che somigliano agli esseri umani. Questo testo, basato sull'edizione originale del 1726, esplora le interpretazioni dell'opera dalla sua pubblicazione. Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), nato a Dublino, ha creato questo classico intramontabile.

V roce 1926 zorganizovala Emily Sandsová, mladá nadšenkyně pro egyptologii, výpravu, jejíž cílem bylo najít ztracenou hrobku staroegyptského krále Osirise. Jejím jediným vodítkem byl starobylý papyrus a amulet Oko boha Re, který jí daroval tajemný mladý muž v Luxoru. Výprava však po několika měsících, když se zdálo, že jsou už téměř u cíle, náhle záhadně zmizela bez stopy. O sedmdesát let později dostane praneteř Emily Sandsové balíček s dokumenty svojí pratety, mezi kterými je i její deník.
