«Lazarillo de Tormes» is the anonymous picaresque novel, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
A boy of humble origin recounts in the first person his childhood and his service to several masters. Amid deception and mistreatment, Lázaro encounters a society dominated by hunger, false religiosity and the cult of honour, and sharpens his wits to survive. His ironic and satirical gaze inaugurates the picaresque novel.
Work originally published in 1554; this edition, edited by Amparo Medina-Bocos, is volume 16 of the Cátedra Base collection.
For students of Spanish literature and readers interested in the origin of the picaresque novel.
