Una gu?a que inspirar? hoy a cualquier persona honesta que desee gestionar su vida de manera audaz y estrat?gica en un mundo cada vez m?s competitivo y hostil.

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 dem?s. Han inspirado el debate, la discordia, la guerra y la revoluci?n. Han iluminado, indignado, provocado y consolado. Han enriquecido vidas, y tambi?n las han destruido. Taurus publica las obras de los grandes pensadores, pioneros, radicales y visionarios cuyas ideas sacudieron la civilizaci?n y nos impulsaron a ser quienes somos.

Tambi?n conocido como el Or?culo manual, esta peque?a obra maestra se compone de trescientos aforismos que condensan la sabidur?a pr?ctica de Baltasar Graci?n, uno de los mayores escritores europeos del barroco. Los consejos de este sabio sobre la discreci?n, la necedad de quejarse, el autocontrol, el buen gusto y el arte del disimulo resultan asombrosamente modernos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A guide that will inspire anyone who wishes to direct their life boldly and strategically in an increasingly competitive and hostile world.

Baltasar Graci?n y Morales, better known as Baltasar Graci?n, was a Spanish Jesuit and philosopher. Graci?n'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.
