An illustrated satire modeled on Gulliver's Travels, in which artist Hugo Gellert casts himself as a descendant of Lemuel Gulliver and recounts his travels through the United States.

Gellert (1892-1985), born in Budapest, contributed to The Masses, The Liberator and New Masses. First edition, G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1935.
