This review is from: Wisdom of Baltasar Gracian (Cassette) (Audio Cassette)
The tape flips back and forth between selected memoir passages and 'favorite quotes'. Neither is particularly enlightening, but the determined listener will probably find a few phrases which inspire further reading.

This review is from: The Wisdom of Baltasar Gracian: A Practical Manual for Good and Perilous Times (Paperback)
Gracian is a man worth studying, and his Oracle (usually titled something like The Art of Worldly Wisdom) is a must read, but not this version. Do a search on Baltasar Gracian and you should end up on a page by Lachlan Cranswick, which has a good comparison on translations. You will see that many of those in this reviewed version are either weak or missing. I got my copy at a used bookseller for cheap. Not sure it is worth even that price. It did get me searching on Gracian, which has led me to better translations.
