English The Visions of Quevedo Transcribed from the 1832 Literary Rooms edition by David Price "The Visions of Quevedo" by Francisco de Quevedo is a collection of allegorical narratives written in the early 17th century. The work includes a series of visions experienced by the narrator, exploring themes of morality, justice, and the nature of humanity through satirical and fantastical storytelling. The opening chapters set the stage for the narrator's encounters with various entities, including demons and representations of death and judgment, exposing societal flaws and human vices. At the start of the book, the narrator recounts his experience witnessing an exorcism of a possessed man in Seville, raising questions about credulity and the nature of possession itself. After the exorcism is postponed, he speaks with the possessed, who claims to be inhabited by a demon that reveals insights into the human condition, particularly criticizing social injustices and the hypocrisy of various human pursuits, including poetry and justice. This sets a tone of dark humor and critique that permeates the subsequent chapters, as the narrator continues to explore themes of love, death, justice, and the absurdities of life through varied allegorical visions, each revealing deeper moral truths.
