Was für eine wunderbare Biographie! Und wie aktuell erscheint plötzlich das ferne 16. Jahrhundert! Nur die Gegenspieler haben gewechselt. Humanismus gegen religiösen Fanatismus. Nationaler Egoismus contra Weltbürgertum. Erasmus hat die EU und die Vereinten Nationen vorausgedacht und die christliche Reformation angestoßen, die dann von Luther, dem religiösen Fanatiker, usurpiert und zur Revolution missbraucht wurde. Erasmus, der Mann des Ausgleichs, hat sich immer wieder um die Versöhnung der Parteien bemüht. Voraussehbar vergeblich.

Six amusing and endearing stories which will make you laugh and cry, and awaken your memories of another day. The perfect book for a day on the beach while basking in balmy ocean breezes, or a mountain vacation ensconced in a cozy cabin. This is a work of fiction, but like the fiction of Hemingway and many others, it is partly autobiographical. Themes of joy, and guilt, and great adventures, and just plain fun are embodied, and as the metaphors sing, you are carried off to another place.
