Beschreibung

This perennially popular book of advice on how to achieve personal and professional success is valued for its timeless insights on how to make one's way in the world. Written in the seventeenth century by a Spanish Jesuit scholar, these teachings are strikingly modern in tone and address universal concerns such as friendship, morality, managing emotions, and effective leadership. The Art of Worldly Wisdom is for anyone seeking to combine ethical behavior with worldly success.

This edition of The Art of Worldly Wisdom includes an informative introduction by Willis Barnstone, Distinguished Professor of Spanish and Comparative Literature at Indiana University. Barnstone, a noted translator, critic, and poet, explores Gracián's background and places him within his historical and literary context.

Über den Autor

Baltasar Gracián (1601-1658) was a Spanish Jesuit, philosopher, and writer associated with the Baroque period of the Spanish Golden Age. His works, including The Art of Worldly Wisdom and The Criticón, are noted for their density, stylistic refinement, and acute observations on human behaviour. Gracián's influence extended beyond Spain, shaping later European thought and contributing to traditions of aphoristic and practical philosophy.
