Founded in 1191, St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin is Ireland's national cathedral (as opposed to nearby Christ Church Cathedral which is the local cathedral). Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver's Travels, was dean of St Patrick's from 1713 to 1745.

Perjalanan Gulliver berkisah tentang penjelajahan seorang dokter bedah kapal bernama Lemuel Gulliver ke empat negeri terpencil di dunia. Di Lilliput, Gulliver menemukan sebuah negeri dalam miniatur di mana dia dipandang sebagai dewa. Sebaliknya di Brobdingnag, dia hanyalah makhluk kecil di negeri raksasa. Di Laputa, sebuah pulau terbang, dia bertemu dengan masyarakat spekulan. Pelayaran terakhir membawanya ke negeri Houyhnhnms, di mana kuda-kuda berbudi luhur hidup berdampingan dengan Yahoo, makhluk tak beradab yang memiliki kemiripan dengan manusia.

«Satire is a sort of glass wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended by it…» (The Preface to The Battle of the Books) ~ #BornOnThisDay: #JonathanSwift (1667-1745), Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, novelist, poet, political pamphleteer and cleric, best known for his ribaldly humorous and witty satires and essays which aimed to expose corruption and express political and social criticism through indirection. His deadpan, ironic writing style, particularly in A Modest Proposal, have led to such satire being subsequently termed "Swiftian". Swift is regarded by the Encyclopædia Britannica as the foremost prose satirist in the English language, and is less well known for his poetry. He was, and remains, one of the most popular and readable authors of the 18th century, an author of humor and humanity, who is as often enlightening as he is ironical. ~ Best-known works: • A Tale of a Tub (1697/1704, satire) • The Battle of the Books (1704, satire) • An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity (1708, satirical essay) • The Drapier's Letters (1724-25, series of pamphlets) • Gulliver's Travels (1726, novel) • A Modest Proposal (1729, satirical essay) ~ «I said the thing which was not. (For they have no word in their language to express lying or falsehood.)» (Gulliver's Travels, Part IV, Chapter III) ~ «I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child, well nursed, is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasee, or a ragoust.» (A Modest Proposal) ~ Have you read any Swift work, and if you have, did you like it? ~ #birthday #Swift #GulliversTravels #AModestProposal #ATaleOfATub #TheBattleOfTheBooks #DrapiersLetters #AnArgumentAgainstAbolishingChristianity #Gulliver #swiftian #book #books #bookstagram #novel #satire #satirist #poet #reading #read #bibliophile #booklove #instabook #literature #bookclub #bookworm #booknerd #bookaddict #classics https://www.instagram.com/p/CW5gvs-otBe/?utm_medium=tumblr
