Lazzarino Del Tormes by Anonymous
y de sus fortunas y adversidades
A first-person, episodic tale about a poor boy from the banks of the Tormes who survives by his wits as he passes through the service of a series of masters; through comic and often cruel adventures he exposes the greed, hypocrisy and corruption of clergy and nobility while learning to use cunning, trickery and practical reason to stay alive. The narrative blends bitter humor and social critique, tracing the protagonist’s moral compromises and small triumphs as he moves from desperate childhood to a modest, precarious adulthood, offering a vivid, satirical portrait of sixteenth-century Spanish society.
