A Modest Proposal

Literature is the best way to record the social and economic status of a country at any given point of time. Woven around the thoughts, ideologies and problems of the society, it allows one to have a leisurely walk down the corridors of time.

This classic book by Jonathan Swift has made no attempt to conceal or camouflage the stark situation in Ireland with its problem of extremely low income and people resorting to begging as one of the decent options available. It will be not an exaggeration to say that the language is very cold that one may mistake it for sarcasm, but will also see is the reality. Downright cold and compelling read for those who understand the real purpose of literature!
