It wasn't for nothing that Erasmus of Rotterdam, whose portraits are as brilliant, wrote 'In Praise of Folly.' I guess that today, about half a millenium later, it's getting still more relevant. :)

By the way, I was pleased to find the book company I recently started to work for is selling the reprint edition of this wonderful essay. Keeping up with the time is the right thing to do.

Indeed it is.
What book company is this?
Where can I order a copy of the reprint?

If you don't mind the language of the reprint being Russian, I'll gladly you send you a copy as a present.

The company is a small publishing house called Ganga, owned by some friends of mine. They mainly publish books on esoterism, but they have a wholesale storehouse where they sell books of different publishers.

I wouldn't mind at all, in fact it would be kinda cool to have such an obscure item.
Perhaps it would challenge me into learning some Russian :)
I'll email you my address.
