Skilfully applying a wealth of classical rhetorical techniques, Swift’s satirical tour de force takes a savage swipe at the selfishness of the ruling classes and the heartlessness of the various utilitarian solutions put forward by contemporary thinkers.In addition to this seminal piece, this volume includes other humorous and polemical writings – which, taken together, provide an invaluable introduction to Swift as a master satirist and pamphleteer.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBBook Series: Quirky ClassicsGenre: FictionTopic: Classic FictionRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
