His \"Modest Proposal: For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick\" is presented with a completely straight face. The irony is this: in the three centuries since, humanity has made it increasingly difficult to find evils so absurd that no one would actually attempt them, leaving modern-day Swifts with little material to work with anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46484554678423,"sku":"9781947844469","price":1536.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781947844469.jpg?v=1766323514","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-modest-proposal-the-original-1729-edition-9781947844469","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
