Description
Little Black Classics - the new series to celebrate Penguin's 80th anniversary 'A most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food ...' Suggesting that the Irish eat their children to avoid famine, Jonathan Swift's vicious satire on his times was published anonymously in the eighteenth century and has since become a touchstone of political writing, deadly serious in its humour.
