| Summary | "Los Sueños, Volume II" by Francisco de Quevedo is a literary work, likely a philosophical satire or allegory, written in the early 17th century. This volume continues the exploration of human nature, hypocrisy, and societal follies, often using humor and sharp wit to critique contemporary life. The text introduces a character known as Desengaño, who guides another character through a disillusioned journey of understanding the world and its underlying truths. At the start of the text, the narrator is caught in a whirlwind of societal distractions and superficial pleasures. He encounters a venerable old man, identified as Desengaño (the "Disillusionment"), who chastises him for his ignorance regarding the value of time and the reality behind common human behaviors. Desengaño explains the pervasive nature of hypocrisy in society and offers to show the world as it truly is, guiding the narrator through various scenes that reveal the deceptive appearances of people and their actions. Through this encounter, the opening sets the stage for a deeper examination of societal norms, revealing the contradictions between appearances and reality, especially concerning mortality, love, and personal integrity.
