Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. Dr. Jonathan Swift, Vol. 5 of 17
Sir,
so great a lover of antiquities, it was reasonable to suppose, you would be very much obliged with any thing that was new. I have been of late offended with many writers of essays and moral discourses, for running into stale topicks and thread-bare quotations, and not handling their subject fully and closely: all which errors I have carefully avoided in the following essay, which I have proposed as a pattern for young writers to imitate. The thoughts and observations being entirely new, the quotations untouched by others, the subject of mighty importance, and treated with much order and perspicuity, it has cost me a great deal of time; and I desire you will accept and consider it as the utmost effort of my genius.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331133957_0
