«Elogio de la locura» is the satirical essay by Erasmus of Rotterdam, published by RBA Coleccionables in hardcover (176 pages, in Spanish).
In this satirical work, the figure of Folly (Stultitia) delivers a speech in which, with irony and humor, she praises unreason and reviews the customs of the age: clergy and rulers are portrayed without mercy. Behind the paradox, Erasmus of Rotterdam invites reflection on the human condition and the value of reason.
Written in 1509, this edition belongs to the Biblioteca de los Grandes Pensadores collection.
Recommended for readers interested in philosophy and classics of satirical literature.
