London: 14 August , 2005 - A Russian book publisher has claimed that the original version of Gulliver's Travels was a pornographic novel, and features the protagonist in steamy encounters with 6 inch tall Lilliputians.

The Erotic Adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, which is to go on sale in Moscow book stores this weekend, will be marketed by Neonilla Samukhina from St Petersburg, who said that she bought the version from the Ford family, who were descendants of a close friend of author Jonathan Swift.

"They had tried in the past to get it published but had never been believed that it was genuine, and I was sceptical, but historians have authenticated the age of the material and even style of writing," Fox News quoted her as saying.

The book reportedly has Gulliver describing how Lilliput women give him and themselves sexual pleasure.
