Passengers include a Spanish noblewoman, a drunken German lawyer, an American divorcee, a pair of Mexican Catholic priests. This ship of fools is a crucible of intense experience, out of which everyone emerges forever changed. Rich in incident, passion, and treachery, the novel explores themes of nationalism, cultural and ethnic pride, and basic human frailty that are as relevant today as they were when the book was first published in 1962.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title of this book is a translation from the German of Das Narrenschiff, a moral allegory by Sebastian Brant.

She took for her own this simple almost universal image of the ship of this world on its voyage to eternity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51369594814687,"sku":"9780316713900","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/Y840VwWsuA9780316713900.webp?v=1789143440"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/katherine-anne-porter.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
