A Modest Proposal (English Version) - Odyssee

Satirical essay that mocks British indifference to the suffering of the Irish poor during the 18th century. Presented in the voice of a rational economist, the narrator suggests the outrageous idea of solving poverty and overpopulation by selling impoverished Irish babies as food for the rich. Through this shocking proposal, Swift exposes the cruelty of British policies and the dehumanizing attitudes toward the Irish. The essay uses irony and exaggeration to criticize social injustice, economic exploitation, and the failure of political leadership, making it one of the most powerful examples of satirical writing in English literature.
