Renena Bibliografica

Titulo: “Suenos y Discursos

Con extraordinaria satira medieval comienza y concluye este titulo,

del gran escritor clasico Francisco de Queredo.

El mismo posee una prosa “unica segun expresa textualmente su

colophon, algo que puede comprobar facilmente el propio lector.

Su prologista es ni mas ni menos que Jose Hierro.

En el mayor de los casos ocupan el espacio poetas musicos asi como

otros personajes, todas llenos de gran fantasia.

Su lectura ( De Suenos y Discursos) nos llevara de la mano hacia el

tiempo del barroco, ofreciendo la misma, conocimientos sobre

seres fantasmales, en una prosa picarezca, que nos dara el deseo de

“decvorar” cada pagina, por su exuberante jococidad.
