Synopsis "El Erizo y el Zorro (in Spanish)"

«Entre los fragmentos conservados del poeta griego Arquíloco, uno dice: “Muchas cosas sabe el zorro, pero el erizo sabe una sola y grande”. La fórmula, según Isaiah Berlin, puede servir para diferenciar a dos clases de pensadores, de artistas, de seres humanos en general: aquellos que poseen una visión central, sistematizada, de la vida, un principio ordenador en función del cual tienen sentido y se ensamblan los acontecimientos históricos y los menudos sucesos individuales, la persona y la sociedad, y aquellos que tienen una visión dispersa y múltiple de la realidad y de los hombres, que no integran lo que existe en una explicación y orden coherente, pues perciben el mundo como una compleja diversidad. Berlin, luego de formularla, se apresura a prevenirnos contra los peligros de cualquier clasificación de esa naturaleza. En efecto, ellas pueden ser artificiales y hasta absurdas. Pero la suya no lo es. Todo lo contrario: muerde en carne viva y resulta iluminadora para entender dos actitudes ante la vida que se proyectan en todos los campos de la cultura.»

Isaiah Berlin (1909–1997) was an influential British philosopher and thinker of Latvian origin, known for his contributions to political theory and the history of ideas. Born in Riga, Latvia, his family emigrated to England in 1921. He studied at the University of Oxford, where he became a fellow of All Souls College and New College, and also founded Wolfson College. During World War II, he worked as a diplomat in Washington and Moscow. He was president of the British Academy from 1974 to 1978 and received various awards for his intellectual work.

His most famous essay, The Hedgehog and the Fox (1953), interprets Leon Tolstoy's view of history through an Archilochus metaphor: “The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.” Berlin classifies thinkers into two types: the "hedgehogs," who structure their worldview around a single central idea, and the "foxes," who have a more scattered and multiple perspective. According to Berlin, Tolstoy embodies both roles: by his talent, a fox; by his convictions, a hedgehog.

This essay has become an essential work for understanding the different approaches to thought and history.

  (Prologue by)
View Author's Page
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa (Arequipa, March 28, 1936), known as Mario Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquis of Vargas Llosa, is a Peruvian writer who also holds Spanish nationality since 1993 and Dominican nationality since June 2022. Considered one of the most important contemporary novelists and essayists, his works have received numerous awards, including the Nobel Prize in Literature 2010, the Cervantes Prize 1994 —considered the most important in the Spanish language—, the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature 1986, the Biblioteca Breve Prize 1962, the Rómulo Gallegos Prize 1967, and the Planeta Prize 1993, among others. Alongside Gabriel García Márquez, Julio Cortázar, and Carlos Fuentes, he is one of the central figures of the Latin American boom

He rose to fame in the 1960s with novels such as The Time of the Hero (1963), The Green House (1966), and Conversation in the Cathedral (1969). He continued to prolifically cultivate various literary genres, such as essays, articles, and theater. Several of his works have been adapted into films and television. Most of his novels are set in Peru and explore his views on Peruvian society; however, in The War of the End of the World (1981), The Feast of the Goat (2000), and The Dream of the Celt (2010) he sets his plots in other countries.

No me fijé en la edición, error mío. La edición de Booket no me gusta (pequeño, papel reciclado, letra MUY pequeña) para personas con capacidad visual disminuida se dificulta muchísimo la lectura. En cuanto al contenido, excelente, reflexivo, es un libro para detenerse y hacer anotaciones.

Ensayo profundo y reflexivo que escapa del simple estudio de "Guerra y Paz" de Tolstói y se proyecta a la inmensidad de la metafísica y la gnoseología. <<Formamos parte de algo más grande que no podemos comprender [...] y somos sabios solo en la medida en que logramos reconciliarnos con él [...] porque hasta que lo hagamos, y a menos que lo hagamos, protestaremos y sufriremos en vano y, encima, haremos el ridículo.>>

Un libro centrado en la personalidad de Tolstoi. No es de fácil lectura.

Una joya literaria que, con su brevedad y profundidad, invita a la reflexión y estimula el deseo de explorar más allá. Una obra de calidad que deja una huella duradera.

La verdad es que lo pedí simplemente por el precio, es bastante chico y cumple con lo que aparece en su descripción. Todavía sigo sin decepcionarme de la calidad de los libros que puedo encontrar aquí.
