I've finished the first of my Penguin little black classics: Baltasar Gracián, 'How to use your enemies'. An enjoyable read and an insight into the world of the 1600's, a world of deception and illusion, it would appear much like today, which Graciáns aphorisms illustrate beautifully. Much of it raises a smile, as you it's true. His observations on human behaviour and interaction are astute, and as people is people, Graciáns words are just as pertinent for todays world.
