I read this back in the early seventies in my Great Books of the Western World class at UF, and I remember writing a pretty good paper about it. Sadly, I have no idea which edition or translation, but it is truly one of the great archetypal works. I am never sure how to go about reviewing a classic so I will just include here some random thoughts. I liked the difference in development between the first and second books – the first being more episodic and the second being more encompassing. The proverbs were delightful – some being the same as current ones and some different – some revealing a more logical origin. I loved it, and have reaffirmed my commitment to learn Spanish and read the original. I am never sure how to go about reviewing a classic so I will just include here some random thoughts.
