Decorative mid-19th century stamped ownership of Peter F. Hunn. Peter F. Hunn (1794-1847) was an eminent attorney in New Jersey and New York. Hardbound. Very good. Francisco Gomez de Quevedo y Santibanez Villegas (1580-1645) was a Spanish nobleman, politician, satirist, poet, and writer of the Baroque era. Residing almost constantly at court (Philip III), he exercised a kind of political and literary jurisdiction which had no end of biting and potent wit. General politics, social economy, war, finance, literary and religious questions, all come under his disecting knife. He had a disertation, a pamphlet, or a song for everything. He was at his most brilliant and bitterly satiric in his "Visions of Hell". Loosely based on Dante and Lucan. Describing the inhabitants of hell Quevedo attacks all of his favorite targets, without regard to type or class. 'As a sartirist and humorist Quevedo stands in the first rank of Spanish writers. after Cervantes he is the greatest Spanish prose writer of the 17th century.' - James Fitzmaurice-Kelly. This translation of into English by Sir Roger L'Estrange (1616-1704) is considered a remarkable work in it's own right. W151
