The Ship Of Fools

The Ship of Fools is a satirical allegory written by Sebastian Brant in 1494. The book is divided into 112 chapters, each of which describes a different type of person who is a passenger on a ship that is sailing to the land of fools. The ship is captained by a fool, and the passengers are all fools in one way or another. The book is a commentary on the foolishness of humanity and the need for wisdom and discernment. It is also a critique of the church and the corrupt practices of its leaders. The Ship of Fools was a popular book in its time and is considered a classic of German literature. It has been translated into many languages and has influenced writers and artists for centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
