The book begins when Gulliver goes to sea. He is a surgeon on the ship, Antelope. During this voyage there is a windstorm, which sinks the ship causing Gulliver to swim to Lilliput. Once there he finds little men 6 inches tall. They take him to a temple, the only p

Two countries are at war, Lilliput and Blefscu. The war started over a petty religious debate about which side of the table their eggs should be broken on. Blefscu soon tries to invade Lilliput put they are stopped by Gulliver. Gulliver, who wants a peace treaty, refused to completely destroy Blefscu. His disagreement with the Emperor is made worse when he puts out a fire in the palace by urinating on it. The Emperor pardons this act but is still at odds with Gulliver.

The island itself tyrannizes the people of Balnibarbi and can toy with them at will. He is eventually lowered to Balnibarbi and there he meets with the Governor of Lagado, Munodi. He shows Gulliver around a barren island. It got this way because of the "academy of Projectors". It's purpose was to change arts, sciences, languages and mechanics but it never worked. This cause the land to become fruitless.
