Concerning the novel, it is a very rich and dense piece of writing. The full understanding of its satire requires a deep knowledge of the XVII and XVIII centuries.
For example, the reader should know about the political and religious intrigues that took place. For instance, the voyage to Lilliput allows Swift to develop a criticism of the conflict between Whigs and Tories in England.
Of course, this novel is still interesting for readers who, for one reason or another wouldn't do background research : Gulliver's Travels also deals with philosophical issues such as power and moral virtues among others.
Another interesting feature is the fact that even if Swift's satire contains a bitting satire and a deep reflection on mankind, Gulliver's Travels is suprisingly very pleasant to read for the reader that only wants to enjoy the pleasure of fiction.
All things considered, reading this book is a great adventure, whoever the reader is.
