Jonathan Swift - Oeuvres - Classcompilé n° 158

'A Tale of a Tub' was the first big work written by Jonathan Swift. It is arguably his most difficult satire, and perhaps his most masterly. The Tale is a prose parody which is divided into sections of "digression" and a "tale" of three brothers, each representing one of the main branches of western Christianity. Composed between 1694 and 1697, it was eventually published in 1704.'A Tale' was long regarded as a satire on religion itself, and has famously been attacked for that, starting with William Wotton. The "tale" presents a consistent satire of religious excess, while the digressions are a series of parodies of contemporary writing in literature, politics, theology, Biblical exegesis, and medicine. The overarching parody is of enthusiasm, pride, and credulity. At the time it was written, politics and religion were still linked very closely in England, and the religious and political aspects of the satire can often hardly be separated. "The work made Swift notorious, and was widely misunderstood, especially by Queen Anne herself who mistook its purpose for profanity." "It effectively disbarred its author from proper preferment within the church," but is considered one of Swift's best allegories, even by himself. It was enormously popular, but Swift believed it damaged his prospect of advancement in the Church of England.This edition has been formatted for your Kindle, with an active table of contents.

Le conte du tonneau

Au cours de son quatrième et dernier voyage, Gulliver débarque sur une terre inconnue et fait la connaissance de ses habitants, de splendides chevaux dotés d'une sagesse et d'une intelligence exceptionnelles. Il y découvre leur mode de vie, leur langue ainsi que leur gouvernement complexe qui exerce une terrible domination sur les Yahoos, un peuple répugnant et primaire constitué. d'hommes.

À travers ce conte philosophique, dans lequel s'exprime une critique virulente de la situation politique et sociale en Angleterre, Swift pose avec ironie des questions essentielles : existe-t-il une différence entre un être humain et un animal ? Sommes-nous

aussi civilisés que nous le pensons ?

Voyage à Lilliput - Classiques et Patrimoine

" Ne venez jamais si vous n'avez été appelé trois ou quatre fois, car il n'y a que les chiens qui viennent au premier coup de sifflet ; et quand le maître crie : Qui est là ? aucun domestique n'est tenu d'y aller ; car qui est là n'est le nom de personne. "

Anti-guide des bonnes manières à l'usage des serviteurs, Instructions aux domestiques révèle, avec humour et ironie, l'absurdité du système social anglo-saxon du XVIIIe sc. Parodique, drôle, insolent, ce faux manuel concentre tout le talent de satiriste et de pamphlétaire de Swift. Talent qu'il exerce aussi dans les Opuscules humoristiques, dont la très célèbre Modeste proposition où l'écrivain propose une manière aussi radicale qu'efficace de résoudre le problème de la pauvreté en Irlande.

This carefully crafted ebook: "Gulliver's Travels illustrated by Arthur Rackham" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
Gulliver's Travels (Original title - Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships), a misanthropic satire of humanity, was written in 1726 by Jonathan Swift. Like many other authors, Swift uses the journey as the backdrop for his satire. He invents a second author, Captain Lemuel Gulliver, who because of a series of mishaps en route to recognized ports, ends up, instead, on several unknown islands living with people and animals of unusual sizes, behaviors, and philosophies, but who, after each adventure, is somehow able to return to his home in England where he recovers from these unusual experiences and then sets out again on a new voyage.
Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745) was an Anglo-Irish poet, writer and cleric who gained reputation as a great political writer and an essayist. Jonathan, who became Dean of St. Patrick's in Dublin, is also known for his excellence in satire. His most remembered works include Gulliver's Travels, A modest Proposal, An Argument against Abolishing Christianity and A Tale of a Tub.

The history of the publication of the Journal to Stella is somewhat curious. On Swift's death twenty-five of the letters, forming the closing portion of the series, fell into the hands of Dr. Lyon, a clergyman who had been in charge of Swift for some years. The letters passed to a man named Wilkes, who sold them for publication. They accordingly appeared in 1766 in the tenth volume of Dr. Hawkesworth's quarto edition of Swift's works; but the editor made many changes in the text, including a suppression of most of the "little language." The publishers, however, fortunately for us, were public-spirited enough to give the manuscripts (with one exception) to the British Museum, where, after many years, they were examined by John Forster, who printed in his unfinished Life of Swift numerous passages from the originals, showing the manner in which the text had been tampered with by Hawkesworth. Swift himself, too, in his later years, obliterated many words and sentences in the letters, and Forster was able to restore not a few of these omissions. His zeal, however, sometimes led him to make guesses at words which are quite undecipherable.
