GULLIVER'S TRAVELS PART 3, CHAPTER 1 SUMMARY
 
"The author sets out on his third voyage. Is taken by pirates. The malice of a Dutchman. His arrival at an island. He is received into Laputa."  

• After 10 days back home, Gulliver gets a visit from a former captain of his, William Robinson, who offers him a position on Robinson's ship as a surgeon.
• Gulliver agrees.
• After a year of travel, the ship heads to Tonquin, part of modern-day Vietnam.
• The captain has to stay ashore in Tonquin for several months, but he wants to make some profit.
• The captain buys a small boat and appoints Gulliver the leader of it, with 14 sailors under him, so that they can continue doing business while the captain hangs out on land.
• This small boat is captured by two ships of Japanese pirates (who were, incidentally, a serious threat to sailors in the seas around China and Southeast Asia, particularly in the seventeenth century.)
• The Japanese pirates are accompanied by a Dutchman, who tells the English that he wants them to be tied up and thrown into the sea.
• Gulliver begs him to let them go, but his requests seem only to make the Dutchman angrier – especially Gulliver's references to the Dutchman as a "brother Christian" (3.1.7).
• (For an explanation of this oddness, check out "Why Swift Seems to Hate the Dutch So Much," under the "Japan" section of "Character Analysis.")
• The pirate captains finally decide to split Gulliver's crew between their two ships and to set Gulliver adrift in a small canoe with a little bit of food.
• Gulliver uses his canoe to row to some tiny local islands nearby, but he can't find much food or shelter on any of them.
• While he's standing on the fifth and last island, Gulliver sees a shadow blot out the sun.
• He takes out his telescope, looks up, and sees that it is a floating island covered with people. (This is the island of Laputa.)
• Gulliver manages to signal to these people that he needs help, and they eventually steer overhead and let down a chain for Gulliver to climb up.

GULLIVER'S TRAVELS PART 3, CHAPTER 2 SUMMARY
"The humors and dispositions of the Laputians described. An account of their learning. Of the king and his court. The author's reception there. The inhabitants subject to fear and disquietudes. An account of the women."  

• The people surrounding Gulliver when he gets up to the island look totally bizarre: all of their heads lean either to the right or the left, one of their eyes points in and the other up, and they are all dressed in clothes decorated with stars, moons, and musical instruments.
• Gulliver sees a lot of servants standing around holding these things he calls flappers, little rattles on the end of a long stick.
• The people of Laputa are so caught up in their own thoughts that they need someone else to remind them to speak or listen.
• So whenever a group of them gets together, the job of their servants is to touch the mouth of the person who should be speaking and the ears of those who should be listening.
• And when they go walking, their servants have to tap their eyes with the flapper to be sure that they watch where they're going.
• The Laputians bring Gulliver to the King.
• The King's room is full of mathematical instruments and globes, and he is so deep in thought that it takes him an hour to become conscious enough of his surroundings to notice Gulliver.
• The King provides Gulliver with a tutor to teach him their language; most of the words he learns are for different signs of the zodiac, mathematical figures – really abstract stuff, in other words.
• What helps Gulliver to learn Laputian language is his knowledge of math and music, which dominate Laputian culture.
• At the same time, the Laputians don't seem able to make anything right: Gulliver's suit doesn't fit and all of their houses have weird angles because no one knows how to apply their equations to real life.
• Gulliver also discovers that Laputa controls the continent under it, Balnibarbi, and that there are frequent visitors and deliveries from sea level up to Laputa by means of rope. In fact, Laputa is the King's personal home, but Balnibarbi is where the capital city sits.
• What surprises Gulliver is that, even though all the Laputians know only math and music, they still like to talk endlessly about politics – proof, to Gulliver, that all humans most enjoy discussing what they know least.
• He also finds it weird that the Laputians live in such constant fear of the end of the world that they can hardly sleep at night or enjoy life. Their science has actually become a terror to them.
• The women of Laputa despise their husbands and love strangers.
• In fact, whenever guys come up to the island from the lands below, the women has affairs with them pretty freely. Their husbands never notice because they are so busy with science.
• Gulliver becomes pretty fluent in Laputian after a month.
• The Laputian King doesn't bother asking him about the countries he has seen; all of his questions revolve around math.

GULLIVER'S TRAVELS PART 3, CHAPTER 3 SUMMARY
"A phenomenon solved by modern philosophy and astronomy. The Laputians' great improvements in the latter. The king's method of suppressing insurrections."  

• Gulliver then launches into a long description of how exactly Laputa functions: first of all, the island has a crater in the center of it that collects rain water, which is why rain doesn't just fall off it.
• At the center of the island is a deep canyon with a giant lodestone, a naturally occurring magnet, in the middle of it.
• The King uses this lodestone to raise and drop the island and to keep it moving in relation to the Earth's own magnetic poles.
• The movement of Laputa has limits: it can't go beyond the king's own dominions, in other words, the islands that he controls at sea level. It also can't rise higher than four miles above the Earth.
• It is the job of the King's astronomers to do the actual manipulation of the lodestone at his orders.
• They also spend a lot of time discovering things about the solar system and the stars.
• The only thing that limits the King's control of the Earth below him is that all of his cabinet members have estates on the islands below Laputa, so they find the idea of dominating the islands under them to be pretty risky for their own families.
• At the same time, the King still has two methods for keeping his authority over the lower islands without absolutely enslaving them:
• (1) if any of them refuse to pay tribute, he can make his island float directly overhead, blocking their sunlight and rain, until they give in;
• and (2) if they continue to refuse to obey him, the King can drop his island directly on their heads.
• The King has rarely ordered this kind of total destruction because (a) his ministers have their homes down below, and (b) his own people would revolt against him.
• Well, and there's one more reason why the King doesn't do this: secretly, he worries that the power of his magnet might not be strong enough to lift the island again if it comes crashing to earth.
• Laputa also has a law that neither the King nor his two eldest sons, nor the queen (while she can still have children) are allowed to leave the island.
