{"product_id":"a-modest-proposal-jonathan-swift-9781947844469","title":"A Modest Proposal: The Original 1729 Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eJonathan Swift thought that England's anti-poverty proposals were so outrageously evil that nothing short of an absurd parody of them would suffice. His \"Modest Proposal: For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick\" is presented with a completely straight face. The irony is this: in the three centuries since, humanity has made it increasingly difficult to find evils so absurd that no one would actually attempt them, leaving modern-day Swifts with little material to work with anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Swift\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947844466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947844469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzeteo Enterprises\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.25d","brand":"Jonathan Swift","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43940327948543,"sku":"9781947844469","price":16.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ae174777-547b-4aaf-a4de-c0aa52215f13.jpg?v=1681446559","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-modest-proposal-jonathan-swift-9781947844469","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
