Book Description

Meditando acerca de una escoba, o haciéndolo sobre el trabajo mecánico del espíritu, el autor de «Los viajes de Gulliver», llega a la dramática conclusión de que el hombre no es más que un producto conformado por la organización política y por la iglesia. En su modesta proposición para evitar que los niños de Irlanda sean una carga para el país, Jonathan Swift propone el genérico engullimiento de niños, a fin de exonerar al país y al tesoro del reino de la carga que los hijos de los pobres le suponen. La organización social y política, el utilitarismo anglicano del que Swift era implacable satírico ya devoraba a los pobres y a sus hijos en la maquinaria productivista al servicio de la Iglesia y del Estado.

Author portrait of Jonathan Swift

Jonathan Swift

Jonathan Swift is an Irish writer, political critic, and clergyman. He published many books and literature, the most important and most famous of which was "Gulliver's Travels", which includes four parts.
Jonathan Swift, one of the first critics of the English language, was a noted political writer, poet, and clergyman. He was born in Ireland and lost his father at an early age to be taken care of by his uncle.
With the beginnings of the glorious revolution in Ireland he was forced to emigrate to England, where he worked with Sir William Temple and got to experience a life of luxury and power. At a young age, he often moved between Ireland and England, and Swift entered the Church of Ireland at the same time as his poor cousin in the Church of England.
When he returned to Ireland he held the position of Dean of Saints at Patrick's Cathedral and continued to do so until his death. As a writer, he wrote most of his works under pseudonyms, and today we mention his best satirical prose work, Gulliver's Travels.
Gulliver's Travels, his most famous work, was first published on September 28, 1726 and modified in 1735, and it is considered a classic English literature, and many were mistaken in thinking that it was a children's book and in fact it was satirical prose. He mocks not only British policy against the Irish but also the oppression of the poor.|Swift lived for a long time in Trim, and a frequent satirical festival called the Trim Swift Festival was held.
