Description

'... a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food...' Swift's devastating short satire on how to solve a famine Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions. Jonathan Swift (1667-1745). Swift's works available in Penguin Classics are Gulliver's Travels and A Modest Proposal and Other Writings.

About the Author

Jonathan Swift was an Anglo-Irish author, poet and essayist. He was born in Dublin in 1667. He received a bachelors in arts from Trinity College, Dublin. He was famous for his outstanding satire and produced impressive works such as A Tale of a Tub, An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity, Gulliver’s Travels, among others. However, it was Gulliver’s Travels that won him enduring fame. He published most of his writings under pseudonyms. John Ruskin called him one of the three most influential people. Similarly, George Orwell declared him the most admirable person in spite of having disagreements on various matters. Swift also worked as a statesman’s assistant and engaged in political pamphleteering. In his later years, he became a cleric as dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. He died in 1745 and was buried next to his lifelong love Esther Johnson inside Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
