«Elogio de la locura» is the satirical essay by humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam, published by Unidad Editorial in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
In this satire, the goddess Folly takes the floor to praise her own influence over humanity and unleash a biting critique of the customs, religion, politics and society of her time. Erasmus, from the Christian humanism that characterizes him, contrasts the world's foolishness with true wisdom and critical spirit.
