Dover Publications In Praise of Folly

Product description

Bu esprili ve etkili eser, rönesans'ın en büyük bilim adamlarından biri tarafından yazılmış olup, dönemin üst sınıflarının ve dini kurumların kusurlarını satirize eder.

The most effective of all erasmus's writings -- ripe with allusions, vignettes, and caricatures -- the literary gem was not only an extremely intelligent and articulate response to pretentiousness of all kinds, it also proved to be spiritual dynamite, leaving monastic brothers and clergymen the objects of universal laughter. The book's purported narrator, the goddess folly, proclaims herself to be the daughter of youth and wealth, nurtured by drunkenness and ignorance. She is accompanied by followers such as self-love, pleasure, flattery, and sound sleep. A clever mix of drollery and fantasy, fast-paced and lighthearted in tone, the work has proven to be a lively and valuable commentary on modern times.

it remains, according to the great dutch historian john huizinga, &quot

A masterpiece of humor and wise irony.

something that no one else could have given to the world.
