With chillingly deadpan logic, the author proposes a monstrously absurd economic solution: that poor families fatten their infants and sell them as delicacies to wealthy landlords. Beneath its shocking and dark humor lies a furious critique of government indifference and social cruelty. This brilliant work of satire is frequently adapted for theatrical performances and short satirical films.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #830202;\"\u003e➤ \u003cu\u003eHighlights\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiting Satire: A masterclass in dark humor addressing systemic poverty and cruelty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShocking Premise: The author deadpan proposes eating poor infants to solve economic crises.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitical Critique: A furious attack on oppressive English policies and Irish exploitation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeadpan Logic: The absurd proposal is argued with frighteningly calm seriousness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDramatic Adaptations: The classic essay has inspired satirical theatre productions and short films.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #800000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 10px; line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"a-link-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Jonathan-Swift\/e\/B001HCV1RG\/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1\"\u003eJonathan Swift\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Legend Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages: 62\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781917163866\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Rich Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47643508080811,"sku":"9781917163866","price":550.0,"currency_code":"EGP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/7924\/2155\/files\/9781917163866.jpg?v=1786895788","url":"https:\/\/www.richbookscompany.com\/products\/modest-proposal","provider":"Rich Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
