Praise of Folly (Penguin Black Classics)

Erasmus ranges from light-hearted jibes to vehement denunciation of the theologians and churchmen, monastic life and the condition of the Church, and then seriously expounds the virtues of the Christian way of life. This work is one of the best satirical classics of the Renaissance.

Erasmus variaza de la greutatile usoare pana la denuntarea vehementa a teologilor si a oamenilor bisericii, a vietii monahale si a conditiei Bisericii si apoi expune in mod serios virtutile modului de viata crestin. Aceasta lucrare este unul dintre cele mai bune clasice satirice ale Renasterii.
