Eloge De La Folie

<p><i>Eloge De La Folie</i> geschreven door Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus en vertaald door De la Veaux is 'n meesterwerk van Renaissance-satire. In hierdie boek loof Vrou Folly haarself in 'n reeks geestige en ironiese argumente. Erasmus gebruik Folly as 'n spreekbuis om sosiale en godsdienstige misbruike van sy tyd te kritiseer. </p> <p>Die werk ondersoek temas soos selfbedrog die rol van irrasionaliteit in die menslike lewe en die kritiek van kerkpraktyke en geleerde pretensies. Erasmus se skryfwerk is nie net skerp en insiggewend nie maar ook vermaaklik en tydloos wat 'n blywende impak op die Westerse literatuur en denke gelaat het.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
