«Vida del Buscón» is the picaresque novel by Francisco de Quevedo, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (228 pages, in Spanish).
Pablos, the Buscón, is born into a humble family of ill repute: his father is a thieving barber and his mother is thought to be a witch. To escape that origin, he serves Diego and goes hungry in the boarding house of Licentiate Cabra in Segovia. His attempt to get ahead through deceit gives rise to a ferocious satire of social climbing, with Quevedo's virtuoso language.
2000 edition of the Clásicos Españoles collection, directed by Francisco Rico, in the Biblioteca Universal del Círculo de Lectores. The work was originally published in 1626.
Recommended for readers interested in the Spanish Golden Age and the origins of the picaresque novel, with Quevedo's satirical humor.
Escritor y poeta español del Siglo de Oro, maestro del conceptismo, autor de El Buscón y de una vastísima obra poética y satírica.
