«La vida del Lazarillo de Tormes» is the anonymous picaresque novel edited by Alberto Blecua, published by Castalia in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Lázaro de Tormes, a boy born into poverty, recounts in the first person how he serves several masters, from the blind man to the squire, and how each experience teaches him to survive through cunning. The novel inaugurates the picaresque genre and, with irony and realism, portrays the hypocrisy, misery and contradictions of sixteenth-century Spain.
Work originally published in 1554; this critical edition by Alberto Blecua belongs to the Clásicos Castalia collection (no. 58), with introduction, notes and variants.
Recommended for students of Spanish literature and readers who want an annotated and rigorous edition of this classic.
