Jonathon Swift changed the way that prose was written forever, now for the first time ever you can listen to three of his best works collected in one bundle!

Writing both fiction and satire, Jonathon Swift was noted for his poignant and often times cutting views of the society he lived in. He is still regarded as the most important prose satirist in the English language and is required reading in many schools.

Swift is known for his highly entertaining style which lends itself to also being highly enjoyable even for those that don’t necessarily understand the political aspects of his writing.

In this bundle, you’ll find:

• A Modest Proposal - Jonathon’s Swift cutting satire about the treatment of the poor in Ireland. Using hyperbole, he points out the often-heartless proposals and policies that were being passed at the time.

• A Tale of a Tub - This was Swift’s first major work and the work which gave him the most notoriety during his life. Using allegory, this satirical fiction piece which is broken into many separate parts highlights in glaring detail the cult of ego within the church and the dangers of religious excess.

• Gulliver's Travels - Perhaps his most well-known story, it even went on to start the genre of fiction known as “Traveler’s tales”. Following a young man named Gulliver on his often-comedic travels to foreign and fantastical lands.

This collection gives you the best of Jonathon Swift all in one audio book, so you can find out why he is still regarded as the father of modern satire.
