Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This witty and diverse volume compiles some of the most important and entertaining works by renowned author and satirist Jonathan Swift. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into Swift's biting wit and his satirical commentary on the human condition. Swift's satirical masterpiece 'A Modest Proposal' and the fictionalized travelogue 'Gulliver's Travels' are joined by other famous pieces such as the predictions from Isaac Bickerstaff, Esq. and other characters. Through these works, Swift mercilessly mocks and critiques the foibles of humanity, such as greed, vanity, ignorance, and hypocrisy. Yet beneath the satire, there's a profound understanding of human nature and a deep concern for the common man. This collection is a testament to Swift's enduring legacy as a master of satire and a voice for the voiceless.
