«El Buscón» is the picaresque novel by Francisco de Quevedo, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
The picaroon Pablos, born in Segovia to a humble and far from exemplary family, recounts in the first person his life and adventures in the service of Don Diego Coronel. Far from the social criticism of other picaresque novels, Quevedo's work is a display of wit and verbal sharpness, with constant conceptist wordplay, comparisons and hyperboles.
Edition by Domingo Ynduráin, in the Letras Hispánicas collection from Cátedra (volume 124). The work was originally published in 1626.
Recommended for readers of Spanish classics and students of Golden Age literature.
