Beschreibungen
This vintage book contains Jonathan Swift's 1704 satire, "e;A Tale of a Tub"e;. The first major work that he wrote, it is a prose parody about two brothers who are each representative of the chief aspects of western Christianity. It mainly deals with the ideas of religious enthusiasm, pride, and credulity. Published at a time when religion was an intrinsic aspect of politics, the work was widely condemned, with Queen Anne going as far as to call it "e;profane"e;. Contents include: "e;The Introduction"e;, "e;A Digression Concerning Critics"e;, "e;A Tale of a Tub"e;, "e;A Digression in the Modern Kind"e;, "e;A Tale of a Tub"e;, "e;A Digression in Praise of Digressions"e;, "e;A Tale of a Tub"e;, "e;A Digression Concerning the Original"e;, "e;A Farther Digression"e;, "e;A Tale of a Tub"e;, et cetera. Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Anglo-Irish essayist, satirist, poet, and cleric. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
