He embodies the transition from the Middle Ages to the modern day. His significance for literary and scientific history is immense. Even today, thousands of his letters on subjects such as moral constraint and freedom of press have lost nothing of their significance.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of Erasmus\u2019 life and work has been neglected until now. Sandra Langereis is the first biographer who does justice to his life story by closely following his correspondence and describing the genesis of his entire literary legacy. She depicts him as the lively author of <em>In Praise of Folly<\/em> as well as a brazen biblical scholar who came up against inquisitors, but also Martin Luther. Erasmus\u2019 life story sheds light on an eventful era: a century of dark humour and brutal violence, of religious fanaticism and the struggle for intellectual freedom. This rich biography makes history\u2019s relevance palpable.<\/p>\n<p>Erasmus has never been portrayed as this smart, sharp, brave, angry, scared and \u2013 in one word \u2013 human.\u00a0 And never before has a biography shone as vivid a spotlight on Erasmus\u2019 day and age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Winner Libris History Prize 2021 Rights sold Ullstein (Germany) Mondadori (Italy) Read our sample translation of\u00a0Erasmus: Life of a Maverick About the book Erasmus is one of the greatest authors of the Netherlands and Belgium, and even all of Europe.
