Gulliver's Travels
A Voyage to Lilliput
1699年5月4日，格列佛应“羚羊号”船长的雇请，乘船到太平洋一带航海，因遇风暴，“羚羊号”触礁沉没了。他和五个水手跳入救生艇中逃生，可是半途救生艇也翻了。格列佛只身被风浪刮到利立浦特岛上。上岸后，他由于过度疲乏，躺在草地上酣睡了一觉。待他醒来时，他觉得全身都动弹不得，他的四肢、身体被紧紧捆缚住了，连他的头发也一根根地被缚牢在地上。他被献给了国王。后来格列佛温顺的表现逐渐赢得了国王和人民对他的好感，他也渐渐熟悉了小人国的风俗习惯。
在格列佛的帮助下，该小人国打败了另一个小人国，但是格列佛不愿灭掉该国，国王对此很不高兴。一次，皇宫失火。由于运水困难，格列佛撒了一泡尿浇灭了大火。这使皇后十分反感。加上海军大臣嫉妒他的功劳，于是国王召开了一次密谋会，准备除掉格列佛。格列佛得知后，慌忙逃到那个被打败的小人国。再从那儿找到了一只小船，便乘船离去。他在公海上遇到一只英国商船。他便搭乘这只商船，于是1702年回到伦敦。从而结束了他的第一次游历。
