"We have just enough religion to make us hate but not enough to make us love one another." In this critically acclaimed compendium of 11 outrageous commentaries and tales by the English language's greatest satirist, Jonathan Swift reflects on the absurdity of organized religion, classical versus modern literature, digressions, astrological predictions, and a host of other tantalizing topics. His classic tale, "A Modest Proposal," which suggests solving the hunger problem by eating children, is also included. Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1667. He wrote poetry, then turned to prose, producing a wide range of political and religious pamphlets and essays. His world-renowned masterpiece, Gulliver's Travels,, was published in 1726. Swift went nuts before he died in 1745.
