An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity In Plain and Simple English: (Translated)

AUTHOR Swift, Jonathan; Bookcaps
PUBLISHER Createspace Independent Publishing Platform (04/04/2013)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

What happens when you try to abolish Christianity? According to Jonathan Swift-society falls apart... and more importantly, Sundays get really boring.

An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity is one of Swift's sharpest and most underappreciated political satires. On the surface, it's a defense of the Church-but underneath, it's a masterclass in irony, poking fun at religious hypocrisy, lazy politicians, and the absurdities of English society.

But Swift's 18th-century language and cultural references can make the essay hard to follow without a little help. This edition includes a modern English retelling alongside the original text, so readers can appreciate the cleverness, sarcasm, and subtle jabs without getting lost in old phrasing.

Whether you're a student of literature, a fan of political commentary, or just someone who enjoys sharp wit, this version helps you experience Swift's satire the way it was meant to be read: with a smirk.
