Memoirs Of The Life Of Scriblerus (1723) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Memoirs of the Life of Scriblerus is a satirical work written by Jonathan Swift, published in 1723. The book is a mock biography of the fictional Martinus Scriblerus, a member of a group of satirists known as the Scriblerians, who were active in the early 18th century. The book is presented as a collection of papers, letters, and fragments, supposedly written by Scriblerus himself, as well as by his friends and associates. The work is a parody of the traditional biographical genre, and it pokes fun at the literary and intellectual pretensions of the time. The book is full of absurd and outrageous anecdotes about Scriblerus and his companions, as well as witty commentary on the literary and cultural trends of the day. The book is also notable for its use of a number of literary devices, including parody, irony, and satire. It is a prime example of Swift’s skill as a satirist, and it remains a popular and influential work in the history of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
