El criticón (tomo 1 de 2) by Baltasar Gracián y Morales

"El criticón (tomo 1 de 2)" by Baltasar Gracián y Morales is a philosophical novel published in three parts between 1651 and 1657. Two men—impulsive Andrenio, raised in nature, and experienced Critilo, a shipwrecked sailor—meet on a remote island and embark on an allegorical journey through Spain, France, and Italy. Together they search for Felisinda, representing happiness itself, while navigating a world of deception and disillusionment. This baroque masterwork presents a bitter yet hopeful vision of human existence through elaborate wordplay and constant moral reflection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
