Omschrijving

The Ship of Fools is a satirical allegory written by Sebastian Brant in the late 15th century. The book is a collection of moralistic tales and anecdotes, each featuring a different character who represents a particular vice or folly. The overarching theme of the book is the foolishness of humanity and the dangers of being led astray by one's own desires and weaknesses.The book is structured as a voyage on a ship, with each character representing a passenger on board. The ship is captained by a fool, who is himself a symbol of the folly of human nature. As the ship sails along, the passengers engage in various foolish activities and behaviors, such as gambling, gluttony, and greed.Through these stories, Brant offers a scathing critique of the society of his time, which he saw as being corrupt and morally bankrupt. He also offers advice on how to avoid falling into the same traps as the characters in the book.The Ship of Fools was a popular work in its time, and it has since become a classic of European literature. It has been translated into numerous languages and has influenced many other works of satire and allegory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
