Gulliver's Travels is Jonathan Swift's classic from 1726, adapted by the Storica editors into a B2 reader of twenty-five short chapters.
Originally in English, the book is available on Storica in all seven supported reading languages — French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, Dutch, and English. The plot, characters, and tone stay the same; only the language you read it in changes.
Each chapter takes about ten minutes to read and ends with a writing prompt in your target language. By the end of the twenty-five chapters you have read a real book — not a vocabulary list, not a textbook scenario, but a story by a real author, in the language you are learning to live in.
Upper intermediate. You read literary novels, follow nuance, handle conditional and subjunctive. You can argue, summarise, and reflect in writing. The plateau is behind you.
Yes — every book in the Storica catalog is available in all seven supported languages: French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and English. Gulliver's Travels was originally written in English, but you choose your reading language when you start.

No. Storica's adaptation is the version you read. We keep the characters, plot beats, and tone of the original — and rewrite the language to fit the level. If you've read the original before, you'll recognise the story; if you haven't, the adaptation is a complete reading of the book.
