Jonathan Swift

    30 novembre 1667 – 19 octobre 1745

    Jonathan Swift fut un maître de la satire anglo-irlandaise, dont les œuvres explorent la nature humaine avec une acuité et une profondeur intellectuelle remarquables. Il est célébré comme le principal satiriste en prose de la langue anglaise, maniant avec maestria des styles allant de l'horatien au juvenalien. Ses essais et pamphlets, souvent publiés sous pseudonymes, offraient des commentaires mordants sur les problèmes politiques et sociaux de son époque. La capacité de Swift à employer l'humour pour dénoncer les absurdités et l'hypocrisie en fait un auteur intemporel et essentiel pour les lecteurs en quête de commentaires perspicaces sur la condition humaine.
