About this audiobook
Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal offers a scathing commentary on 18th-century Ireland's poverty. The narrator, with chilling seriousness, proposes a solution to the burden of poor children: selling them as food to the wealthy. This outrageous idea, delivered in a satirical tone, mocks the indifference of England towards Ireland's struggles.
