«El Buscón» is the picaresque novel by Francisco de Quevedo, published by Edimat Libros in hardback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Pablos, son of a thieving barber and a woman accused of witchcraft, enters the service of Diego, a young nobleman, to escape his humble origins. Quevedo turns Pablos's adventures into a satire of Golden Age Spain: education, hunger, false honour and misery follow one another with grotesque humour.
Also titled «Historia de la vida del Buscón, llamado don Pablos, ejemplo de vagamundos y espejo de tacaños». Quevedo composed the work around 1603 and it was not published until 1626.
For readers interested in the picaresque novel and Spanish Golden Age literature.
Spanish Golden Age writer and poet, master of conceptismo, author of El Buscón and of an enormous body of poetry and satire.
