Sinopsis

Welcome to our digital audiobook collection of Irish writings, featuring three thought-provoking works by some of Ireland's greatest writers. 
 
First up is Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal," a satirical essay that takes a darkly humorous approach to addressing the poverty and suffering of the Irish people in the 18th century. Swift proposes that the solution to the country's economic woes is for the wealthy to buy and eat the children of the poor. This shocking proposal is not meant to be taken seriously but rather to highlight the callousness of those in power towards the plight of the less fortunate. 
 
Next, we have "The Three Wishes", a charming folk tale that has been passed down through generations. The story follows a poor woodcutter who is granted three wishes by a fairy after showing her kindness. However, each wish comes with unintended consequences, and the woodcutter must learn the value of contentment and gratitude. 
 
Finally, we have "Law in Ireland" by Maria Edgeworth, a renowned Irish novelist and literary figure. In this essay, Edgeworth explores the legal system in Ireland and the challenges faced by those seeking justice. She draws on personal experiences and observations to offer a nuanced perspective on the flaws and strengths of the system and proposes potential solutions. 
 
This collection offers a diverse range of works that showcase the wit, humor, and insight of Irish writers. With expert narration and immersive sound design, our digital audiobook collection brings these stories to life, making them accessible to listeners around the world.
