First Edition, Thus; Stapled cream wraps; 138 clean, unmarked pages. (1704) is a brilliant, multifaceted satire by Jonathan Swift attacking intellectual pride, religious extremism, and corrupt learning. It utilizes an allegory of three brothers—Peter (Catholicism), Martin (Lutheranism/Anglicanism), and Jack (Calvinism/Dissenters)—who represent branches of Christianity and abuse their father’s will (the Bible), along with wild digressions that parody modern pedantry.
