The art of worldly wisdom by Baltasar Gracián

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, the teachings are strikingly modern in tone and address universal concerns such as friendship, morality, effective leadership, and how to manage one's emo-tions. The Art of Worldly Wisdom is for anyone seeking to combine ethical behavior with worldly success.

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