Baltasar Gracian (1601-658) was a Spanish jesuit and baroque prose writer. Grecian’s style, generically called conceptism, is characterized by ellipsis and the concentration of a maximum of significance in a minimum of form, an approach referred to in Spanish as agudeza, and which is brought to its extreme in the Oráculo manual y arte de prudencia, which is almost entirely composed of three hundred maxims with commentary. He constantly plays with words: each phrase becomes a puzzle, using the most diverse rhetorical devices.
