{"product_id":"tale-of-a-tub-1704-book-jonathan-swift-9781406791686","title":"A Tale of a Tub - (1704)","description":"This vintage book contains Jonathan Swift's 1704 satire, A Tale of a Tub . The first major work that he wrote, it is a prose parody about two brothers who are each representative of the chief aspects of western Christianity. It mainly deals with the ideas of religious enthusiasm, pride, and credulity. Published at a time when religion was an intrinsic aspect of politics, the work was widely condemned, with Queen Anne going as far as to call it profane . Contents include: The Introduction, A Digression Concerning Critics, A Tale of a Tub, A Digression in the Modern Kind, A Tale of a Tub, A Digression in Praise of Digressions, A Tale of a Tub, A Digression Concerning the Original, A Farther Digression, A Tale of a Tub, et cetera. Jonathan Swift (1667 1745) was an Anglo-Irish essayist, satirist, poet, and cleric. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51024702800145,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51024706208017,"sku":"NIN9781406791686","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1406791687.jpg?v=1750755767","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/tale-of-a-tub-1704-book-jonathan-swift-9781406791686","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
