Fakta og dokumentar

Dive into Jonathan Swift’s sharp satire in A Modest Proposal, one of literature’s most famous works of dark humor and social criticism. Written in 1729, Swift offers a shocking "solution" to the poverty and famine affecting Ireland, proposing the unthinkable with a calm, calculated rationale that highlights the cruelty and indifference of the ruling classes. Through biting irony, Swift forces readers to confront the realities of exploitation and dehumanization in society.

Narrated by Ian Michael Turrell, this audiobook brings Swift’s complex wit to life. Turrell’s performance captures the serious tone Swift adopts to drive home his satire, immersing listeners in the mock-serious prose and unrelenting logic of Swift’s voice.

Perfect for fans of classic literature, satire, and thought-provoking commentary, A Modest Proposal remains as impactful today as when it was first published, challenging listeners to question societal values and human compassion.
