The wonderful and moving, the "different" and "scandalous" life of Saint Andrew the Fool for Christ, who, summoned by God to the superhuman contest of feigned madness and seized by divine intoxication, reached the pinnacle of sanctity through the complete annihilation of the "self," the nakedness and homelessness, the disrepute and shame, the mockery and disdain.

The reader, with awe and admiration, follows page by page the course of the harsh life of the "mad" saint. A book that shakes the soul!
