It is actually closest to that rare type or \"para-genre\" of satirical prose embodied in the exemplary \u003cem\u003eIn Praise of Folly\u003c\/em\u003e by the famous humanist from Rotterdam. Instead of the \"Folly,\" of human manias and absurdities, here, in a similar kind of double-talk, the books themselves \"speak,\" those monuments to our intelligence, ambitions and self-importance, and they primarily \"speak\" by making an analogy between man's fate and that of books--to man's detriment, of course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 10, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47249617355001,"sku":"9784908793110","price":26.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/YU5oMUxFT2xjYlJjQmZxYnd6ZUtsZz09.webp?v=1768648635","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-book-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
