解説
The Fool and the Clown in Western Culture and Literature: Homo Insipiens is a fascinating description of these two perennial figures in European and North American history, folklore, theater, literature, arts, and popular culture. The first part of the book separates them into ten different subcategories and recounts the most vivid and influential manifestations of different kinds of fools and clowns in cultural history. The second part singles out three European writers who have made a significant contribution to the elucidation of the concept of folly. William Shakespeare, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Samuel Beckett have painted an entire gallery of fools, clowns, and buffoons, created not only to entertain but also to explore the meaning of human life. The most important concepts in the book are illustrated by captivating characters and tales that have made people both laugh and arrive at a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
