Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a satirical critique of the human pursuit of knowledge, particularly as it manifests in the academic world. It employs a fictional narrative to explore the absurd lengths to which scholars will go in their quest for recognition and intellectual superiority. The author uses wit, irony, and exaggeration to expose the follies and vanity of those who claim to be the guardians of knowledge. Ultimately, this book provides a cautionary tale about the dangers of intellectual hubris and the importance of humility and common sense in the pursuit of truth. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9780243923724_0
