Sinopsis

The Book is not quite a novel, although almost half of it takes the form of a narrative, neither is it an essay, although quite a lot of what is said in it adopts that style. It is actually closest to that rare type or para-genre of satirical prose embodied in the exemplary In Praise of Follyáby 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 &ldquo,speak,&rdquo, 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&mdash,to man',s detriment, of course.
