«Elogio de la locura» is the satirical essay by Erasmus of Rotterdam, published by Orbis Fabbri in hardback (170 pages, in Spanish).
In the work, Folly takes the floor in the form of a speech to praise herself and ironically review the customs, social vices and institutions of her time, such as the Church and the nobility. Rhetoric and classical erudition serve Erasmus to question supposed wisdom and reveal human contradictions.
The book belongs to the Literatura collection by Orbis Fabbri and was published in 1990 (ISBN-10: 8440210949).
Suitable for readers of philosophy and classical satire who enjoy ironic social criticism.
