«¿Dónde se encuentra la sabiduría?» is the literary essay by Harold Bloom, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
Harold Bloom starts from the Bible and reaches the 20th century to show how literature helps us understand life and death. Through pairs such as Job and Ecclesiastes, Plato and Homer, Montaigne and Bacon, or Cervantes and Shakespeare, he seeks to distill the forms of wisdom that have shaped Western thought.
This Spanish edition, published in 2006, translates the English original «Where Shall Wisdom Be Found?» (2004), with translation by Damià Alou.
For readers of essays and literary criticism interested in the great authors and texts of the Western tradition.
