First published in 1726, Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" presents, as a mock travel tale, a series of thought experiments mixed with strong elements of social satire. A good part of the fun is seeing Swift work through the practical implications of each of his "what ifs?" — what if I was suddenly enormously magnified or diminished in size? for example - and delighting in the relish with which Swift indulges his great interest in matters scatalogical. As the tale progresses, Swift's skewering of English society becomes more and more pointed, reaching its ultimate ad absurdum as the ...

El autor, Jonathan Swift, calculó los costos de la crianza, el peso ideal de los bebés para su comercio y hasta justificó el uso de la piel de los bebés para fabricar guantes y botas. El texto, que llevaba por título Una modesta proposición, fue escrito en tono satírico, a modo de denuncia del utilitarismo extremo de los políticos de la época, para los cuales el bienestar de las finanzas prevalecía sobre el de las personas. Extrarradio presenta en formato audio este famosísimo ensayo satírico de uno de los más grandes escritores de la historia.

A Tale of a Tub marks Jonathan Swifts first significant work, crafted between 1694 and 1697 and published in 1704. Often considered his most challenging satire, this prose parody intricately weaves together sections of humorous digression and the fable of three brothers, each symbolizing a major branch of Western Christianity. The narrative is widely interpreted as a critique of religious fervor, drawing criticism from figures like William Wotton. While the tale consistently satirizes religious excess, the digressions serve as sharp parodies of contemporary literature, politics, theology, ...

In his scathing and provocative pamphlet, Jonathan Swift masterfully exemplifies the art of satire by suggesting a shocking solution to the dire plight of impoverished Irish families fattening their children and selling them to wealthy Protestant landowners.

Join us as we delve into this powerful critique of society and explore the depths of human absurdity. (Summary by Hugh)
