{"product_id":"a-tale-of-a-tub-1704-9781406791686","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Swift\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pomona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781406791686","brand":"Pomona Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45024954220659,"sku":"9781406791686","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_bfc80d1d-bd11-4192-a365-ccce4a12bec1.jpg?v=1779374114","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/a-tale-of-a-tub-1704-9781406791686","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
