Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the 16th century with 'Dialogue of Mercury and Charon' by Alfonso de Valdés. In this edition by Cátedra, Rosa Navarro presents us with a work that, influenced by Lucian and the dances of death, criticizes the society of the time through an ingenious and biting dialogue between Mercury and Charon. Valdés divides his dialogue into two books, exploring both the hypocrisy of the powerful and the virtue of those who act with integrity. A jewel of classical Spanish literature that continues to resonate today.
Alfonso de Valdés was a Spanish humanist, who worked at the chancellery of the Emperor Charles V. He was the twin brother of Juan de Valdés.
