Description

The satirical work by Erasmus of Rotterdam is written in the form of a monologue, in which Folly appears as a character praising his own virtues and influence on human life. The author, with his characteristic irony, exposes the vices of society, criticizing people’s blindness to their own shortcomings and excessive self-confidence.
