Visions by Francisco de Quevedo

"Visions" is a satirical work that delves into the moral and social decay of Spanish society during the Baroque period. Through a series of allegorical and fantastical visions, the author exposes the vices and follies of various social classes and professions. With sharp wit and a critical eye, the text presents a series of dreamlike scenarios where the dead reveal the hypocrisy, corruption, and pretensions of the living. The work is known for its dark humor, rich language, and the use of grotesque imagery to critique the moral shortcomings of humanity, reflecting the author's disillusionment with the world around him.
