Gulliver's Travels Part 1 Chapter 5

from The Jonathan Swift Library · host Jonathan Swift

In which the author, by a feat of remarkable courage and ingenuity, captures the enemy fleet of Blefuscu and gains a high honour from the emperor of Lilliput, yet soon incurs the disfavour of the court through his refusal to serve oppressive designs. Moreover, he quells a dangerous fire in the imperial palace by an unconventional means, thereby saving the royal residence but stirring fresh enmity with the empress.
