«El elogio de la locura» is Erasmus of Rotterdam's satirical essay, published by Edicomunicación in paperback (155 pages, in Spanish).
In this Renaissance satire, Erasmus uses humour and irony to point out the vices of his time: the hypocrisy of friars and clerics, the sale of indulgences and false miracles. Far from a simple attack, he blends mockery with praise of free thought and heartfelt religiosity, in one of the essential texts of European humanism.
Original title: Moriae Encomium, id est, Stultitiae Laus. 1998 edition in Spanish, in the Clásicos Universales collection by Edicomunicación.
Recommended for readers interested in Renaissance philosophy, social satire and the classics of humanism.
