«Diálogos amenos» is a satirical work by Pietro Aretino, published by Editorial Bruguera in paperback (324 pages, in Spanish).
The work recreates the conversation between two experienced women, Nanna and Antonia, who review the female professions in the Renaissance: wife, prostitute or nun. With irony and raw language, Aretino portrays the customs and hypocrisy of his time; it was one of the first erotic texts in the vernacular.
First edition of 1977, in «Clásicos del Erotismo» (no. 1) and the «Libro Amigo» collection (no. 946), translated by José Santina.
For readers of Renaissance literature and classics of eroticism interested in sixteenth-century social satire.
Pietro Aretino was an Italian author, playwright, poet, satirist and blackmailer, who wielded influence on contemporary art and politics. He was one of the most influential writers of his time and an outspoken critic of the powerful. He gained prominence through his politically charged writings and biting satire, which targeted powerful figures, including monarchs and popes. His works spanned various genres, including poetry, drama, and religious commentary, but he is particularly noted for his lampoons and erotic literature. Owing to his communications and sympathies with religious reformers, he is considered to have been a Nicodemite Protestant.
