«Erasmo de Rotterdam: Triunfo y tragedia de un humanista» is the biography written by Stefan Zweig in paperback (216 pages, in Spanish).
Zweig presents Erasmus of Rotterdam as a Renaissance humanist with a European consciousness, opposed to violence and clinging to moral reason. Faced with the dispute between Luther and the papacy, his caution and indecision become his triumph and his tragedy; the author champions freedom of thought and a justice not subject to dogmas.
The work belongs to the Testimonios collection from Ediciones Paidós, where it appears as number 1, and was published in April 2005.
For the general public interested in European intellectual history and in the figure of Erasmus within Renaissance humanism.
