In the land of Brobdingnag, where everything is larger than life, Gulliver finds himself in awe and sometimes even fear. As he wanders through the vast fields, he gazes up at farm laborers towering as high as steeples. Overwhelmed by their immense size, he seeks refuge in a wheat field, hoping to hide from these colossal beings. But it's not just the laborers that leave him astonished; his encounters with Glumdalclitch are equally remarkable. In this French edition of Gulliver's Travels, we witness their bond forming as she becomes his caretaker and teacher. Under her guidance, Gulliver learns to read and explores the wonders of this gigantic world. However, not all experiences in Brobdingnag are pleasant for our protagonist. The sight reapers strikes fear into his heart upon first encounter. Their sheer size is enough to make anyone tremble with trepidation. Yet amidst these moments of apprehension lies unexpected joy and tenderness. When Gulliver kisses the hand of Queen Brobdingnagia herself, a sense of reverence fills the air. And when he meets the Queen's 30-foot-tall dwarf companion who delights in having someone on his level for once, an unlikely friendship blossoms. Life in Brobdingnag also presents its fair share of challenges for Gulliver. He engages in combat with wasps that seem more like flying giants than mere insects. Strutting on a massive table engraved with intricate designs further emphasizes how diminutive he truly is compared to this colossal world around him. And let us not forget about that unforgettable encounter with a frog. Although seemingly insignificant compared to everything else happening around him, it serves as a reminder that even small creatures can have an impact on one's journey. As apples come tumbling down from above during one particular moment, Gulliver finds himself surrounded by the abundance of this land.
