Das Feuilleton ging auf die Knie vor der Neuübersetzung des "Handorakels". Die letzte Übersetzung stammte von Arthur Schopenhauer aus dem Jahr 1832. Der Romanist Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht versuchte sich nun an einer zeitgemäßeren Sprache und erleichtert den Erkenntnisgewinn zusätzlich durch kluge Kommentare.
"Handorakel und Kunst der Weltklugheit" entstand vor 350 Jahren und wurde so etwas wie die Großmutter der Ratgeberliteratur. Der spanische Philosoph, Prediger, Moraltheologe und Hochschullehrer Balthasar Gracian beschreibt in 300 Aphorismen, wie man Erfolg im Leben und am Hofe hat. Diese Aphorismen waren nicht nur im 17. Jahrhundert eine intellektuelle Herausforderung. Er empfahl z. B. kühle Distanz und wurde zu einer viel zitierten Quelle in Coachingseminaren für Führungskräfte. Aber dieses Buch ist weitaus vielschichtiger als eine Anleitung zur beruflichen Selbstoptimierung und weitaus moderner als ein Dokument abgesunkenen Kulturguts. Scharfsinnig auch heute noch.
