Quevedo's literary style is characterized by its rich language, intricate symbolism, and profound philosophical insights. Set in the 17th century Spain during the Baroque period, the book reflects the cultural and intellectual climate of the time, addressing themes of morality, mortality, and the complexities of human existence. Quevedo's depiction of the inner turmoil and darkness that plagues the human soul is both thought-provoking and unsettling.
