«El Buscón» is the picaresque novel by Francisco de Quevedo, published by Edimat Libros in hardcover (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 honor and misery follow one another with grotesque humor.
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.
Escritor y poeta español del Siglo de Oro, maestro del conceptismo, autor de El Buscón y de una vastísima obra poética y satírica.
