About the Book

Mit seinem "Bescheidenen Vorschlag" (A Modest Proposal) schrieb Jonathan Swift eines der wirkungsvollsten Pamphlete der Weltliteratur. Hinter der kühlen Sprache eines ökonomischen Gutachtens verbirgt sich eine Anklage von erschütternder Schärfe: Um die irische Armut zu "lösen", schlägt der Autor - scheinbar ernsthaft - den Verkauf und Verzehr von Kindern vor. In dieser grotesken Umkehrung enthüllt sich Swifts Meisterschaft: Die Logik des Marktes entlarvt sich selbst, wenn sie ohne Mitgefühl gedacht wird. Was als ökonomische Rationalität erscheint, wird zur bitteren Parodie einer Gesellschaft, die das Elend der Armen einkalkuliert und moralisch rechtfertigt. Swifts Essay richtet sich gegen politische Heuchelei, religiöse Selbstgefälligkeit und den Zynismus einer Verwaltung, die Effizienz über Menschlichkeit stellt. Mit dem "Sonderbaren Traum" und den "Versen auf Swifts Tod" wird diese moralische Diagnose um zwei Facetten erweitert: den visionären Blick des Träumenden und die selbstironische Betrachtung des Sterblichen. Gemeinsam bilden sie ein Panorama von Swifts Denken - scharf, traurig, humorvoll und erschütternd klar. Die vorliegende Ausgabe folgt der Übersetzung von Franz Kottenkamp, die Swifts Tonfall zwischen gelehrtem Ernst und trockener Ironie unverfälscht wiedergibt. Hier als gebundene Neuausgabe in gut lesbarer Schriftgröße. Mit Lesebändchen. Jonathan Swift. Ein bescheidener Vorschlag. Satiren über Armut, Macht und Vergänglichkeit. Übersetzt von Franz Kottenkamp. Enthält "Ein bescheidener Vorschlag", "Ein sonderbarer Traum" und "Verse auf Swift's Tod". Erstdruck der englischsprachigen Originaltexte: A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People from Being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Publick, S. Harding, London 1729. [A Very Odd Dream], in: The Tatler, No. 5, From Tuesda
