description

descriptif du fournisseur
Pablo de Segovia, the Spanish Sharper by Francisco de Quevedo is a seminal work in the genre of the picaresque novel, a form that emerged in Spain during the Golden Age of literature. This novel, translated into English and enriched with illustrations by Daniel Vierge, offers a vivid portrayal of the life and adventures of a rogue, Pablo, who navigates the social hierarchies and moral ambiguities of 17th-century Spain. The narrative is structured around Pablo's journey from a humble background to his various escapades, reflecting the socio-political landscape of the time. Quevedo's work is notable for its satirical edge, targeting the vices and follies of society with a sharp wit reminiscent of his other writings, such as the sketches. The novel is not merely a tale of mischief but a critique of the social order, exposing the corruption and hypocrisy prevalent in Spanish society. The illustrations by Vierge, celebrated for their detail and expressiveness, complement the text by bringing to life the characters and settings with remarkable fidelity. This edition also includes commentary by Joseph Pennell and an essay on Quevedo's life and writings by Henry Edward Watts, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the author's literary contributions and the historical context of his work. Quevedo's influence extends beyond literature, as his works have been pivotal in shaping the Spanish language and its literary traditions.
