The Ship of Fools (German: Das Narrenschiff) is a satirical allegory in German literature written by Sebastian Brant during the 15th century. The book is a moral satire on the follies of mankind, and consists of a series of 112 woodcuts, each accompanied by a short verse or poem. The ship of fools is the allegory that drives the work. The ship's passengers are depicted as a variety of fools, each having a particular occupation or character trait, who have all boarded a ship bound for Narragonia, the fools' paradise. The concept of the book is a satirical take on the idea that humans are fools, and that the world is a ship of fools sailing through life.
The first chapter of the book features a bibliophile who collects books but never reads them, and is critical of those who do not use books for their intended purpose. Other chapters feature greedy, rude, and power-hungry individuals. The book is considered a criticism of the Catholic Church and the decadence of German society at the time it was written.
It's like a story that satirizes, reviews, and mocks society, turned into One Piece. lol tkgshn.icon*4
