Historia del famoso predicador Fray Gerundio de Campazas, alias Zotes (1 de 2)
"Historia del famoso predicador Fray Gerundio de Campazas, alias Zotes (1 de 2)" by José Francisco de Isla is a satirical novel published in 1758. The work ridicules the bombastic preaching style of eighteenth-century Spanish orators who used exaggerated baroque language in the pulpit. The protagonist, Fray Gerundio, becomes famous for his absurdly ornate sermons filled with meaningless phrases. Guided by his grotesque mentor Fray Blas and challenged by the wise Fray
Prudencio, Gerundio's journey exposes the decadent excesses of late baroque rhetoric while offering vivid portraits of Spanish provincial life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
