Swift suggests that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. This satirical hyperbole mocks heartless attitudes towards the poor, as well as Irish policy in general. In English writing, the phrase \"a modest proposal\" is now conventionally an allusion to this style of straight-faced satire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathon Swift\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1502763680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781502763686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.05d","brand":"Jonathon Swift","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48873294528767,"sku":"9781502763686","price":8.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-modest-proposal-jonathon-swift-9781502763686","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
