Description

Lazarillo de Tormes is an important work from Spain's Golden Age of literature. First published in 1554, it was written by an anonymous author who chose to remain hidden due to the novel's heretical content. This picaresque novella tells the story of a young boy named Lazarillo, who comes from a poor and multiracial family. After committing a crime, he is apprenticed to a blind beggar, but proves himself resourceful and resistant to corrupt clergymen. Despite being banned for its critical portrayal of the aristocracy and Catholic Church, "Lazarillo de Tormes" has become a model for authors who explored the picaresque genre. This edition features a translation by Clements Markham and is printed on premium acid-free paper.
