Jonathan Swift: A Modest Proposal (English Edition)
"It is a melancholy object to those, who walk through this great town, or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads and cabbin-doors crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags, and importuning every passenger for an alms. These mothers instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in stroling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants who, as they grow up, either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country, to fight for the Pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to the Barbadoes. I think it is agreed by all parties, that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently of their fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the kingdom, a very great additional grievance; and therefore whoever could find out a fair, cheap and easy method of making these children sound and useful members of the common-wealth, would deserve so well of the publick, as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation."
"A Modest Proposal" is a satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift in 1729. Jonathan Swift suggests in his «A Modest Proposal» that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food for the upper class.
Jonathan Swift - Gulliver's Travels
"The author of these Travels, Mr. Lemuel Gulliver, is my ancient and intimate friend; there is likewise some relation between us on the mother's side. About three years ago, Mr. Gulliver growing weary of the concourse of curious people coming to him at his house in Redriff, made a small purchase of land, with a convenient house, near Newark, in Nottinghamshire, his native country; where he now lives retired, yet in good esteem among his neighbours." "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift is a brilliant political satire and a classic of world literature.
Gulliver's Travels (into several remote nations of the world)
A satirical novel about the four journeys of Gulliver, who ventures out on the high seas again and again and meets extraordinary peoples there due to storms, bad weather, pirates and mutiny and experiences exciting and amusing adventures there. He meets among other things the country of Lilliput, giants or the horse creatures called Houyhnhnms. On closer reading, the work also turns out to be a stylish critique of the age of absolutism at the time.

Los viajes de Gulliver
Los viajes de Gulliver (1726) es una novela satírica de Jonathan Swift. Presentándose como el «Dr. Lemuel Gulliver», pretendió divulgar sus viajes en los que se encuentra con una serie de culturas extrañas. Este estilo literario de la divulgación de viajes era común en ese entonces, incluyendo la invención de culturas extrañas y «salvajes», diseñadas deliberadamente para remover las conciencias de los británicos de la época. El viaje a varias naciones lejanas del mundo del cirujano inglés Lemuel Gulliver, se toma a veces como historia para niños. Sin embargo, se trata de una de las obras de sátira política más importantes de la historia. Anticipó muchas discusiones actuales sobre la filosofía de la ciencia, la búsqueda de la inmortalidad humana, y los derechos de los animales.
