{"product_id":"a-tale-of-a-tub","title":"A Tale of a Tub","description":"A Tale of a Tub by Jonathan Swift was first published in 1704. This was Swifts first major work, telling the story of three brothers - Peter, Martin, and Jack. The whole story is an allegory with each brother representing a branch of Christianity. Peter is the Roman Catholic, Jack is the Protestant, and Martin is the Church of England. A Tale of a Tub is essentially a biting satirical take on the morals and ethics of the English and their religions, but while a lot of satire offers an opposing position as a solution to the one being parodied - Swift does no such thing. As controversial as it was, it was very popular at a time when religion and politics were very much intertwined. One of the major things that Swift attacks in the book is the folly of misreading - of taking things too literally and not being able to recognise nonsense - something he gives the reader ample opportunity to do with the many digressions in the book.","brand":"DD Sales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53572749132055,"sku":"9782021090604","price":403.2,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/3528355.webp?v=1782374611","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/products\/a-tale-of-a-tub","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
