Jonathan swift (1667 ~ 1745) went down in history as a satirist. He is a priest, a political writer and a gifted scholar. He was born in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. He went to school at the age of six and studied in kilkenny school for eight years. 1682 entered the famous Trinity College in Dublin, and he was not interested in anything except history and poetry. Or is the school "particularly accommodating" to get a degree? After that, he continued to study for a master's degree at Trinity College until 1686. 1688, Ireland faced British invasion, and he went to Britain to find a way out. The next decade will be a crucial period that will have a great impact on Swift's life. He works as a private secretary at Moore Manor through relatives. Temple, the owner of Moore Manor, is an experienced politician and a philosopher. He has excellent cultivation, which undoubtedly played a positive and even mentor role for Swift. From a political or other practical point of view, this may disappoint Swift, but as far as a satirist is concerned, he has been fully studied in the past decade. His two early satirical masterpieces The Story of the Bucket and divine retribution were written here. After leaving Moore Manor, Swift returned to Ireland to continue to be his pastor. He devoted himself to political activities for the sake of the church. He wrote many political pamphlets in his later years and gained considerable reputation. Although he became famous for a while, he was lonely at heart. He even walked to the brink of despair step by step. He experienced everything and saw through everything, so he wrote Gulliver's Travels. 1745 10 June 19, Swift died in darkness and loneliness at the age of 78.
