Description

Baltasar Gracián's El Discreto: The Complete Man is a profound treatise on moral and political philosophy, literature, criticism, human nature, morality, and social relationships. Written in the 17th century, this Spanish masterpiece explores the qualities necessary for a man to become the center of perfection as he navigates life. Through its unique blend of fables, metaphors, allegories, and wordplay, El Discreto challenges readers to measure themselves against its greatness. For centuries, its complex style has made it nearly impossible to translate into English, but this new edition makes it available to modern readers once again. Considered one of the most prolific and mysterious works of Baltasar Gracián, El Discreto offers insights into becoming a Master of Matters and a Master of Men.
