«Los sueños» is a satirical prose work by Francisco de Quevedo, published by Editorial Planeta in paperback (154 pages, in Spanish).
Quevedo composes a series of dreamlike visions in which characters from different trades and walks of life parade by to denounce the vices, abuses and deceptions of the society of his time. The narrative combines satire, allegory and conceptist wordplay, and its criticism reaches all social classes, from the humblest to the powerful.
Originally published in 1627. This edition is the first in the Planeta Universal Classics collection and includes an introduction and notes by Henry Ettinghausen and a chronology by José Luis Gómez.
For readers interested in classic Spanish literature, the Golden Age and social satire.
Spanish Golden Age writer and poet, master of conceptismo, author of El Buscón and of an enormous body of poetry and satire.
