| Summary | "El criticón (tomo 1 de 2)" by Baltasar Gracián y Morales is a philosophical novel written in the mid-17th century. This work explores profound themes of human existence, morality, and the complexity of life through allegorical storytelling. At its center is Critilo, a character who engages in deep conversations and reflections about life, nature, and human nature itself, alongside a companion named Andrenio. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Critilo, who, having survived a shipwreck, finds himself on a mysterious island where he encounters Andrenio. Their initial interaction centers on the exploration of existence and knowledge. Critilo expresses his despair over the fragility of life and the human condition, while he and Andrenio engage in discourse about the nature of language, communication, and self-identity. This part of the text sets the tone for a broader philosophical inquiry, rich in metaphor and reflective insights, as the two characters seek to understand their identities and the world around them amidst their circumstances.
