Cartas Marruecas / Noches Lúgubres by José Cadalso

An Enlightenment-era pairing that contrasts rational social critique with raw emotional despair: an epistolary exchange between a Moroccan traveler, his mentor, and a Spaniard dissects the customs, vices, and identity of eighteenth-century Spain, while a nocturnal dramatic monologue follows a grief-stricken man consumed by mourning, death, and the limits of reason.
