The Art of Worldly Wisdom by Baltasar Gracian, Christopher Maurer Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A new translation of the well-known book of aphorisms offers readers a wealth of advice on how to live and work within a society governed by self-interest. Publisher Description The remarkable best-seller -- a long-lost, 300-year-old book of wisdom on how to live successfully yet responsibly in a society governed by self-interest -- as acute as Machiavelli yet as humanistic and scrupulously moral as Marcus Aurelius. Author Biography Baltasar Gracian was an aphorist, imaginary biographer, and novelist, who published studies of ideal figures and handbooks on the arts of rhetoric and comportment. His books include "The Hero, Shrewdness and the Art of the Artist, The Art of Worldly Wisdom, "and "The Master Critic." Many high officials felt attacked by the controversial and critical works of this Jesuit priest-professor. Gracian refused to be censored, and was eventually confined to solitary house arrest, where he died.
