"A Modest Proposal," reprinted here, was written over 300 years ago by Jonathan Swift, outspoken voice of the 18th century, and author of "Gulliver's Travels." In his humorous essay, Swift wrote against the British elite's disdain for the starving Irish children, who were then begging in their streets, and at their doors. Other rare works by Swift are also included, such as "A Meditation Upon a Broomstick," "Thoughts on Various Subjects," "A Satirical Elegy," "An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity" and more. "A Modern Proposal" applies Swift's concept to our world today, where the unchaining of hypocrisy could so easily take the satirically suggested turn proposed by Swift. This poignant update will leave you laughing out loud, until you realize how close it comes to identifying where our current society may end. This new satire is then spearheaded by three scathing propositions that could save your life Further balance is provided with the addition of stories, comedy, rhyme, and even a song to help lead your way back to the sanity of a reclaimed world.
