Gulliver's Travel (Laputa)


Hello. My name is Ayaka Suzuki. I would like to post about the Gulliver’s Travel written by Jonathan Swift. I have often read it since childhood. This story is divided into four chapters; especially I am interested in Chapter3. Title of Chapter3 is “A Voyage to Laputa”. It is said that Hayao Miyazaki referred to it when he produced “Tenkuunoshiro Laputa”. Laputa is a flying island, and all people living there are scientists. They are always preoccupied mathematics, astronomy and music. Astronomers move the island with magnetic force of a natural magnet. Such mysterious story may attract readers. I’m sure what Gulliver’s Travel is loved by people in the world. Thank you for reading.
