«Cartas marruecas» is the epistolary work by José Cadalso, published by Orbis in 1984 in paperback (205 pages, in Spanish).
Three voices—those of the young Moroccan Gazel, his Spanish friend Nuño, and the wise Ben-Beley—exchange letters in which the customs and character of eighteenth-century Spaniards are observed with irony. The work avoids clichés and does not idealize Europe, but rather composes a realistic panorama from a critical patriotism.
This edition belongs to the Historia de la Literatura Española collection, number 81, and reproduces the text of the Osuna manuscript, held at the National Library of Madrid.
For readers of eighteenth-century Spanish classics and social criticism in epistolary form.
Colonel of the Royal Spanish Army, author, poet, playwright and essayist
