«¿Dónde se encuentra la sabiduría?» is Harold Bloom's literary criticism essay, published by Taurus in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
Harold Bloom traces in Western literature the different ways of understanding wisdom, from the Bible to the twentieth century. He compares pairs of authors and works such as Job and Ecclesiastes, Plato and Homer, Cervantes and Shakespeare, or Nietzsche and Freud, to show how each confronts the meaning of life and death. The book starts from a personal experience of the author to inquire into the keys that great literature offers in the face of finitude.
The work belongs to the Taurus Pensamiento collection, originally published in 2005. The copy includes 264 pages in Spanish.
Recommended for readers interested in literary criticism, philosophical essay, and the cultural tradition of the West.
