«It is a melancholy object to walk through this great town, or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabin doors crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags and all importuning every passenger for an alms.» (from A Modest Proposal) ~ #CurrentlyReading 🇮🇪🍽💸 Penguin Little Black Classics edition of A Modest Proposal by #JonathanSwift, which includes in three other prose satires and a poem besides the famous title work. These works are generally written about the poverty in Ireland and corruptions, mostly blaming the politics, the religious schemes and the disorder related to the English throne. Having read the most of the book, I can surely say that Swift was a master of wit, a real genius and an unflinching critic of societies and politics of both his homeland, Ireland, and the Great Britain. ~ #AModestProposal #ModestProposal #Swift #AShortViewOftheStateofIreland #ADescriptionOfACityShower #Ireland #Dublin #AMeditationUponABroomstick #book #books #bookstagram #currentread #reading #read #booklove #bookoftheday #instabook #instagood #literature #reading #bookclub #love #booklion #booktube #bookworm #satire #epicreads #igreads
