The book of the great Renaissance humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam, "The Praise of Folly" (1509), which brought the author worldwide fame, is offered to the reader.In his time Catullus praised the sparrow, Virgil the mosquito and garlic snack, Ovid the nut, and Lucian the fly and flea. But only Erasmus of Rotterdam praised the beautiful Mrs. Stupidity, whose companions are Intoxication and Oblivion, Indulgence and Pleasure.... The heroine of this fascinating satirical little book, praising herself, reveals the secret of her destiny, and before the reader floats various representatives of society, arrogantly considering themselves wise men.
