Jonathan Swift

Jonathan Swift was an Irish writer and satirist, best known for his sharp social commentary and wit. He lived in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, and his most famous work is "Gulliver's Travels," a satire of human nature and society cloaked in fantastical adventure. Swift used humor and irony to critique politics and social issues, often highlighting the absurdity of human behavior. He also wrote influential essays, like "A Modest Proposal," where he suggested a shocking solution to poverty in Ireland. Swift's works remain significant for their insights into human folly and political corruption.
