The greatest and most brilliant star of his century... His numerous works, written in Latin, sleep undisturbed upon the shelves of libraries; hardly a single one of them, though in their day they enjoyed worldwide fame, has any message to our epoch." - from page 3. Kirkus Review: The success of Marie Antoinette the brilliant genius of the biographer himself, entitle this book to a place on the Must list. But the subject matter of necessity limits his scope, for source material is inadequate, and Erasmus is still somewhat shrouded in mystery. This is a ruthless, clinical study of a man who, almost forgotten today, was in his time courted by kings, princes and popes. Idealist, humanist, supernationalist, scholar, individualist to the point of weakness, a coward in his avoidance of the position of leadership in a world demanding a leader, but giving the necessary push to the Reformation, with rapier-like thrust. The book is a character analysis rather than a biography. The early part seems at times padded. But with the stirring narrative of the fight between Luther and Erasmus the story gathers speed, ending with Erasmus' death in Basle. A merciless and brilliant book; Zweig gives his subject full mood of praise and unsparing criticism. Shipping/Handling/Insurance/Tracking Included within the continental U.S. (Free Shipping).
