«Lecciones de los maestros» is George Steiner's essay on the relationship between masters and disciples, published by Siruela in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Drawing on his Norton Lectures, George Steiner reflects on the bond between teacher and learner, with its mix of power, trust, passion and betrayal. He reviews famous pairs such as Socrates and Plato, Jesus and his disciples, Virgil and Dante, or Brahe and Kepler to show how this relationship has shaped Western culture and thought.
Number 89 of Siruela's Biblioteca de Ensayo / Serie mayor. Second edition. Translation by María Condor. Original work: Lessons of the Masters.
For readers interested in philosophy, pedagogy and the essay, as well as in the European intellectual legacy.
