Los Sueños, Volume I by Francisco de Quevedo
"Los Sueños, Volume I" by Francisco de Quevedo is a philosophical work published in 1627. Through five satirical dream visions, Quevedo launches a biting critique of all levels of Spanish society during the Golden Age. Using allegories, wordplay, and dark humor, he guides readers through the Final Judgment, Hell, and Death itself, exposing the vices, corruption, and hypocrisy of doctors, nobles, officials, and everyday citizens alike. This baroque masterpiece combines moral philosophy
with scathing social commentary. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
