Triumph Und Tragik Des Erasmus Von Rotterdam by Stefan Zweig

A vivid biographical portrait that follows a leading Renaissance humanist through his brilliant intellectual achievements, moral struggles and personal compromises; it traces his rise as a scholar and moral voice, his uneasy position between emerging Protestant reformers and the Catholic Church, and the loneliness and disillusionment that accompanied his later years, emphasizing the tragic gap between his high ideals and the turbulent political and religious realities of his time.
