    A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift - Delphi Classics (Illustrated)
    Author

    Jonathan Swift

    Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) nació en una familia humilde de Dublín. A los diecinueve años entró a trabajar como secretario del político inglés William Temple. Se trasladó a Inglaterra y con él permaneció diez años en los que siguió formándose y se ordenó sacerdote. A la muerte de Temple entró al servicio del conde de Berkeley y se hizo cargo de algunas parroquias irlandesas. En 1701, ya doctor en Teología, publicó anónimamente su primer panfleto político. Le seguirían muchos otros textos, sobre todo satíricos, con los que se ganó poderosos enemigos como la propia reina Ana. Criticó ferozmente el interés de la sociedad por lo material, la hipocresía religiosa y, en general, todo lo que consideró los males propios del ser humano. Su obra maestra fue sin duda Los viajes de Gulliver, que tuvo que dar a luz bajo seudónimo en 1726.
