This well-loved copy of Parabola Magazine’s Fall 2001 issue on “The Fool” invites readers to explore the archetype of the fool across cultures and traditions. Founded in 1976 by D.M. Dooling, Parabola has long been a beloved resource for those seeking to understand the universal themes and symbols that unite humanity. This particular volume delves into the fool’s role as a truth-teller, sacred clown, and embodiment of the divine paradox. From Shakespearean fools to the Tarot’s Fool card, the journey spans literature, psychology, mythology, and spirituality. Though worn from passionate study, the secure binding of this copy ensures its insights will continue to enlighten collectors and readers alike. As editor David Applebaum notes, “The fool is a reminder of our own folly, as well as the wisdom that can emerge from embracing it.” A treasured artifact for those seeking deeper meaning amidst life’s contradictions.
