{"product_id":"9781470101206","title":"The Art of Worldy Wisdom","description":"Thank you for checking out this book by Theophania Publishing. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you soon. We have thousands of titles available, and we invite you to search for us by name, contact us via our website, or download our most recent catalogues. \u003cp\u003eI have endeavoured to reproduce Gracian's Laconism and Cultismo in my version, and have even tried to retain his many paronomasias and jingles of similar sound. I may have here and there introduced others of my own to redress the balance for cases where I found it impossible to produce the same effect in English. In such cases I\u003cbr\u003egenerally give the original in the Notes. Wherever possible I have replaced Spanish proverbs and proverbial phrases by English ones,\u003cbr\u003eand have throughout tried to preserve the characteristic rhythm and brevity of the Proverb. In short, if I may venture to say so, I have approached my task rather in the spirit of Fitzgerald than of Bohn.\u003cbr\u003eThe gem on the title, representing a votive offering to Hermes, the god of Worldly Wisdom, is from a fine paste in the British Museum of the best period of Greek glyptic art. I have to thank Mr. Cecil\u003cbr\u003eSmith of that Institution for kind advice in the selection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054415462640,"sku":"9781470101206","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781470101206_p0.jpg?v=1763595959","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781470101206","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
