Francisco de Quevedo (1580OCo1645), one of the greatest poets of the Spanish Golden Age, was the master of the baroque style known as OC conceptismo, OCO a complex form of expression fueled by elaborate conceits and constant wordplay as well as ethical and philosophical concerns. Although scattered translations of his works have appeared in English, there is currently no comprehensive collection available that samples each of the genres in which Quevedo excelledOCometaphysical and moral poetry, grave elegies and moving epitaphs, amorous sonnets and melancholic psalms, playful romances and profane burlesques.aaaaaaaaaaa In this book, Christopher Johnson gathers together a generous selection of forty-six poemsOCoin bilingual Spanish-English format on facing pagesOCothat highlights the range of QuevedoOCOs technical expertise and themes. JohnsonOCOs ingenious solutions to rendering the difficult seventeenth-century Spanish into poetic English will be invaluable to students and scholars of European history, literature, and translation, as well as poetry lovers wishing to reacquaint themselves with an old master. aa"

Planeta

El Buscon, unica novela de Quevedo, pertenece al genero picaresco, genero espanol por antonomasia. En esta obra el picaro narra su vida en primera persona desde su nacimiento en Segovia. En esta obra no aparece la fuerte critica social que si aparece en otras novelas picarescas como el Lazarillo o el Guzman de Alfarache. Es, sobre todo, un alarde del ingenio y la gracia verbal habitual de Francisco de Quevedo. En ella aparecen numerosos rasgos conceptistas, especialmente comparaciones e hiperboles.
