«Los sueños» is a satirical work by Francisco de Quevedo, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (246 pages, in Spanish).
A series of five satirical and moralizing tales in which Quevedo criticizes the vices of 17th-century Spain: corruption, hypocrisy and ambition appear in allegorical visions such as the Last Judgement, Hell or death. His conceptist prose and exuberant language make this social critique a classic of the Spanish Baroque.
Work originally published in 1627; this 1974 edition belongs to the Austral Collection and appears as an extra volume.
Recommended for readers of Spanish literature classics and the Golden Age seeking social satire and Baroque prose.
Spanish Golden Age writer and poet, master of conceptismo, author of El Buscón and of an enormous body of poetry and satire.
