The Complaint of Peace is a book written by the famous Dutch philosopher and theologian, Erasmus, in 1917. The book is a satirical work that criticizes the warlike nature of European societies during the time of its writing. Erasmus personifies Peace as a woman who is tired of being ignored and neglected by the warring nations of Europe. The book is divided into three parts, with each part addressing a different aspect of the war. In the first part, Erasmus laments the destruction of cities and the loss of innocent lives. In the second part, he criticizes the greed and ambition of rulers who wage war for their own personal gain. In the final part, Erasmus offers a solution to the problem of war, advocating for a universal peace that is based on mutual respect and understanding. The Complaint of Peace is a powerful work that continues to resonate with readers today, as it highlights the destructive nature of war and the importance of peace in our world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
