A lo largo de la historia, algunos libros han cambiado el mundo. Han transformado la manera en que nos vemos a nosotros mismos y a los demás. Han inspirado el debate, la discordia, la guerra y la revolución. Han iluminado, indignado, provocado y consolado. Han enriquecido vidas, y también las han destruido. Taurus publica las obras de los grandes pensadores, pioneros, radicales y visionarios cuyas ideas sacudieron la civilización y nos impulsaron a ser quienes somos. También conocido como el Oráculo manual, esta pequeña obra maestra se compone de trescientos aforismos que condensan la sabiduría práctica de Baltasar Gracián, uno de los mayores escritores europeos del barroco. Los consejos de este sabio sobre la discreción, la necedad de quejarse, el autocontrol, el buen gusto y el arte del disimulo resultan asombrosamente modernos. Baltasar Gracián y Morales, better known as Baltasar Gracián, was a Spanish Jesuit and philosopher. Gracián's style, generically called conceptism, is characterized by ellipsis and the concentration of a maximum of significance in a minimum of form, an approach referred to in Spanish as agudeza (wit), and which is brought to its extreme in “The Art of Prudence” or “The art of governing” oneself which is almost entirely composed of three hundred maxims with commentary. He constantly plays with words: each phrase becomes a puzzle, using the most diverse rhetorical devices. His writings were lauded by Schopenhauer and Nietzsche.
