A Modest Proposal and Other Writings
Edited with an Introduction and Notes by
Carole Fabricant
Easing poverty in Ireland by eating the
children of the poor was the satirical
“solution” suggested by Jonathan Swift
in his essay “A Modest Proposal” (1729).
Here Swift unleashes the full power of his
ironic armory and corrosive wit, striking
his targets—the ruling class and avaricious
landlords—with deadly precision.

Gulliver’s Travels
Edited with an Introduction by
Robert DeMaria, Jr.
Swift’s account of Gulliver’s encounters
with the Lilliputians, the Brobdingnagians,
the scientists of Laputa, and the
Houyhnhnms and Yahoos make this
fantastic book supremely relevant in our
own age of distortion, hypocrisy, and
irony.
