I'd like to know which Veeky Forums considers to be the essential (non-poetic) works of the spanish Siglo de Oro. I've only read a few (Don Quixote, La Vida Es Un Sueño, Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea) and I'd like to go through a few more. I'm not terribly interested in poetry, though, and I'm also not looking for about a dozen books to read. Just the ones you really can't do without.
Thanks in advance and here's hoping this doesn't turn into a Spain-vs-rest-of-spanish-speaking-world shitfest!

Also, it need not be exclusively fiction: Philosophy is also very much welcome

Lazarillo de Tormes
Luis Harris
>Lazarillo de Tormes I'm looking for specific works, not just authors. What would you say is his most significant work?
Daniel Walker
Kek. That is the specific work. The author was anonymous.

Where are all the spaniards who swarm any spanish-centric thread with their butthurtness about mmmuuh siglo de oro when you need them

Vida del Buscón Don Pablos (Quevedo) Lope de Vega plays Calderón's El Alcalde de Zalamea Cervantes' Novelas Ejemplares Lazarillo Tirso de Molina's El Convidado de Piedra (myth of Don Juan origin) and El Condenado por Desconfiado Baltasar Gracián's El Criticón
But take into account that poetry was the most important part in el Siglo de Oro: Quevedo, Góngora, Garcilaso, Juana Inés de la Cruz... they wrote some of the finest poetry in Spanish language

>poetry was the most important part in el Siglo de Oro No, I get that, I just don't care for poetry in general unless it's epic poetry. I like stories. Thanks a lot for the contribution
