The Art of Worldly Wisdom (Illustrated)

The Art of Worldly Wisdom (Illustrated)

This edition includes 10 illustrations. It might seem strange that after Spanish-born Baltasar GraciÃ¡nâ€™s collection of sayings were written in the 17th century they would find themselves on a modern-day nonfiction bestsellers list, but there is a bounty of timeless truth contained within The Art of Worldly Wisdom. That, along with the appealing Baroque style of Conceptismo â€“ characterized by both an economy of, and a great deal of witty play with words â€“ in which the book is written, produces an appealing and accessible guide to living and being a better version of yourself, and accounts for the renewed interest dating from the late 20th century.
