Written by Diego de Torres Villarroel and first published in 1743, this work is a fictionalized autobiography that chronicles the many facets and adventures of its author. Through a life marked by versatility, the protagonist takes on roles as diverse as student, doctor, bullfighter, astrologer, and man of the Church, offering a fascinating portrait of 18th-century Spain.
This edition, prepared by Luis Gómez Canseco for the Biblioteca Clásica de la Real Academia Española (BCRAE), stands out for its philological rigor and attention to detail. It is a fundamental approach to understanding one of the most unique authors in Spanish literature, rescuing his figure from the image of the negligent writer he himself cultivated.
