Description

Baltasar Gracián y Morales, (1601 - 1658), was a Spanish Jesuit and baroque prose writer and philosopher The Criticón, or the Critick, the author's masterpiece and one of the great works of the Siglo de Oro (compared in importance to Don Quixote), achieved fame in Europe, especially in German-speaking countries. It is a lengthy allegorical novel with philosophical overtones, that recalls the Byzantine style of novel in its many vicissitudes and in the numerous adventures to which the characters are subjected, as well as the picaresque novel in its satirical take on society, as evidenced in the long pilgrimage undertaken by the main characters, Critilo, the "critical man" who personifies disillusionment, and Andrenio, the "natural man" who represents innocence and primitive impulses. It reveals a philosophy, pessimism, with which one of its greatest readers and admirers, the 19th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, identified. The Manual Oracle and Art of Discretion, commonly translated as The Art of Worldly Wisdom, is Gracián best known work, composed of three hundred maxims with commentary. It is sort of early Self-Help book, mixed with political and business advice, and has been compared in importance to The Art of The War and The Prince by Machiavelli.
