«Lazarillo de Tormes» is the adaptation of the anonymous 16th-century picaresque novel by Eduardo Alonso, published by Vicens Vives in paperback (144 pages).
Lázaro, a boy born into poverty, recounts in the first person how he had to serve several masters: a malicious blind man, a miserly cleric and a squire who feigns wealth. With irony, black humour and cunning, it portrays the harsh conditions of 16th-century Spain.
It is part of the Adapted Classics collection (no. 10), with illustrations by Jesús Gabán and an introduction and educational activities.
Aimed at students of compulsory secondary education and at those who need a school edition of the classic.
