This critical edition of Father Isla's famous work, revised by Miguel Figueras Martí, offers a deep insight into the story of the preacher Fray Gerundio de Campazas. Through a brilliant satire of Baroque oratory, the novel serves as a fundamental testimony to the political, ideological, and cultural projects of its time in Spain, acting as a true encyclopedia of an era. The volume includes an exhaustive study and annotations that clarify the historical, religious, and literary context of the work, addressing the challenges of its publication and the influence of the Enlightenment. It is an essential piece for understanding Spanish literature and critical thought of the 18th century.
