Brobdingnag Brobdingnag Brobdingnag is a fictional land in Jonathan Swift's 1726 satirical novel "Gulliver's Travels" occupied by giants. Lemuel Gulliver visits the land after the ship on which he is travelling is blown off course and he is separated from a party exploring the unknown land. In the second preface to the book, Gulliver laments that this is a misspelling introduced by the publisher and the land is actually called Brobdingrag. The adjective "Brobdingnagian" has come to describe anything of colossal size. Swift describes the location of Brobdingnag, and its geography, in the text of Part II of "Gullivers Travels", and
Land of the Giants and the damage renders it inoperable. Very little is known about the home planet of the Giants. This is partially because the "Spindrift" crew very seldom leave the area where their spaceship crashes in the opening episode. Only two other (unidentified) giant societies are ever seen, in the episodes "The Land of the Lost" and "The Secret City of Limbo." No name is ever established for the mysterious planet, but the inhabitants seem to know of Earth, Venus and Mars, referring to them by name in one episode. Exactly where the planet is located is also never made clear. In
