Gulliver's Travels

By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships'' is a 1726 prose satire by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, satirising both human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. Swift claimed that he wrote ''Gulliver's Travels'' "to vex the world rather than divert it". The book was an immediate success. The English dramatist John Gay remarked: "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." In 2015, Robert McCrum released his selection list of 100 best novels of all time in which ''Gulliver's Travels'' is listed in third place as "a satirical masterpiece".

Gulliver's Travels Among The Lilliputians And The Giants
''Le Voyage de Gulliver à Lilliput et chez les Géants'', released in the United States as ''Gulliver's Travels Among the Lilliputians and the Giants'' and in the United Kingdom as ''Gulliver's Travels—In the land of the Lilliputians and the Giants'', is a 1902 French short film, short silent film directed by Georges Méliès, based on Jonathan Swift's 1726 novel ''Gulliver's Travels''. Production Méliès himself plays Gulliver in the film. The visual differences of scale between Gulliver and the countries he visits were created using multiple exposures and miniature models; Méliès uses substitution splices and careful exposure design to merge the various elements and give them a sense of apparently seamless action. Some scenes were filmed outdoors, in Méliès's garden in Montreuil, Seine-Saint-Denis, so that the camera could be far away enough from the Lilliputians to make them look small.

Golden Films

The company's most notorious films were part of the ''Enchanted Tales'' series, which were originally distributed by Sony Wonder.
