Book Synopsis



Los sueños constituye una de las obras fundamentales del Siglo de Oro español.


Los sueños es una obra de lectura imprescindible si se quiere tener una idea de los extremos a los que llega el arte literario de Quevedo y del Siglo de Oro español. Es una pieza de sátira aguda en la que desfilan todos los estados y oficios del mundo, con sus tachas, abusos y engaños, descubiertos y condenados por la expresión ingeniosa acerada y la burla más feroz. Con la libertad que da la visión onírica, Los sueños componen una galería de caricaturas inigualadas y exploran todo tipo de juegos lingüísticos en denuncias que van de la risa a la amargura más violenta. Modelo de numerosas sátiras posteriores, esta obra queda en la historia de la literatura y cultura españolas como una cima cuya dificultad es sólo un atractivo más.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Visions constitutes one of the fundamental works of the Spanish Golden Age.


The Visions is an essential read if you want to get an idea of the extremes to which Quevedo's literary art and the Spanish Golden Age go. It is a piece of sharp satire in which all the states and professions of the world parade, with their flaws, abuses, and deceptions, uncovered and condemned by sharp-witted expression and the fiercest mockery. With the freedom that the oneiric vision gives, The Visions compose an unparalleled gallery of caricatures and explore all kinds of linguistic games in denunciations that range from laughter to the most violent bitterness. A model for many later satires, this work remains in the history of Spanish literature and culture as a peak whose difficulty is just another attraction.
