Balthasar Gracian was a Spanish Jesuit from the 17th century. I can only find one of his books available in English on amazon, that being "The Art of Worldly Wisdom" but I wonder if there are any others. I would also like to ask if the penguin translation is best, or if there is another translation.

I mean for the Art of Worldly Wisdom (Or the Pocket Oracle and the Art of Prudence as penguin published it as)

I've tried to find the English version of his most important work, "El Criticón". Sorry man, couldn't find it neither on Amazon nor on the rest of the Internet. For someone who does not speak Spanish, Gracián is quite an obscure author. If you really want to read some of his works that desperately, buy the only one that seems to be translated into English. I wouldn't buy the Penguin translation if there is another one available. Good luck.
