Los Sueños, Volume II by Francisco de Quevedo
"Los Sueños, Volume II" by Francisco de Quevedo is a satirical work written between 1605 and 1621. This masterpiece of Spanish Baroque prose consists of five allegorical visions that expose the vices and corruption of every social class in Golden Age Spain. Through dreams of judgment, hell, and death, Quevedo unleashes biting criticism of doctors, nobles, and hypocrites alike. Blending philosophical reflection with dark humor, he employs rich conceptual wordplay and classical
sources to create a scathing moral commentary on human nature and Spanish society under the Habsburgs. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
