The novel follows Pablos, a humble young man who longs to improve his social standing and dreams of becoming a gentleman. To achieve this, he resorts to tricks and ruses that take him from Segovia to Madrid, Toledo and Seville, until he embarks for the Indies. Quevedo narrates it with corrosive humour and a satirical eye on the hypocrisy and misery of his time.
This edition adapted by Juan Manuel Infante Moraño and illustrated by Diego Blanco belongs to Anaya's Clásicos a Medida collection for young readers. Quevedo's original work dates from 1626.
