Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Balthasar Gracian's collection features three hundred maxims that explore various aspects of life and human behavior, reflecting his profound philosophical insights. As a Spanish Jesuit Priest, he faced disapproval from his superiors, yet his work garnered admiration from thinkers like Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. This compilation is recognized for its depth and subtlety, positioning it alongside classic self-improvement texts such as Epictetus's Enchiridion and Seneca's Letters, making it a significant contribution to the genre of wisdom literature.
