O ovoj audio-knjizi

Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal is a masterful work of satire that has stood the test of time as one of literature’s sharpest critiques of social and economic inequality. Written in 1729, this provocative essay proposes an outlandish solution to Ireland's severe poverty and famine: selling impoverished children as food for the wealthy. Swift's grotesque suggestion is delivered with the utmost sincerity, mimicking the style of serious economic treatises to expose the brutal exploitation and dehumanization of the Irish people under British rule.

Through biting irony, hyperbole, and wit, Swift takes aim at the indifference of the ruling elite, the greed of landlords, and the cold logic of economic reductionism. A Modest Proposal is not merely a shocking piece of satire but a timeless reflection on inequality, colonialism, and humanity's capacity for cruelty.

This classic essay continues to provoke thought and discussion, challenging readers to confront the moral and ethical implications of their actions and policies. It is as relevant today as it was in the 18th century, making it essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the power of satire and the enduring struggle for justice and compassion.
