«Obras jocosas» is the volume of satirical and festive writings by Francisco de Quevedo, published by La Fontana Literaria in paperback and in Spanish.
It brings together the short pieces Quevedo originally published under the title «Juguetes de la niñez y travesuras del ingenio». These are festive and satirical texts that show his mastery of language and serve as a counterpoint to the more serious Quevedo, attentive to theological and philosophical questions and marked by pain, envy and imprisonment.
This edition is from 1974; the original publication of these pieces is dated 1631. The cover shows a donkey sitting on a chair reading a book.
It will interest those seeking the humorous vein of the Golden Age and a different view of Quevedo.
Spanish Golden Age writer and poet, master of conceptismo, author of El Buscón and of an enormous body of poetry and satire.
