First sentence: "Whoever hath an ambition to be heard in a crowd, must purchase a self-exaltation to a certain degree above them."
Description: A Tale of a Tub is a biting satire that targets religious excess, intellectual vanity, and cultural pretension through sharp irony and deliberate disorder.

Using the allegory of three brothers and an unreliable narrator, Swift mocks sectarian division, pedantry, and self-delusion, exposing humanity’s preference for comforting illusions over difficult truths. A work of relentless wit and moral severity, it remains one of the sharpest critiques of false authority in English satire.
