«El diablo cojuelo» and «Reinar después de morir» are two works by Luis Vélez de Guevara published by Promoción y Ediciones in a hardback volume.
Cleofás, a student, frees the devil Cojuelo from a bottle; in gratitude, the devil takes him over the rooftops of Madrid and reveals to him, through windows and cornices, the secret lives of its inhabitants. The work is a satire of the hypocrisy and customs of seventeenth-century Spanish society.
It belongs to the Grandes Maestros de la Literatura Española collection.
For readers interested in the picaresque novel and Golden Age classics.
Luis Vélez de Guevara was a Spanish dramatist and novelist. He was born at Écija and was of Jewish converso descent. After graduating as a sizar at the University of Osuna in 1596, he joined the household of Rodrigo de Castro, Cardinal-Archbishop of Seville, and celebrated the marriage of Philip III in a poem signed Vélez de Santander, a name which he continued to use until some years later.
