La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes
is a foundational work of Spanish literature, widely considered the archetype of the picaresque novel. Published anonymously in the 16th century, this edition presents a restitution of the original text by R. FoulchÃ(c)-Delbosc, offering readers a meticulously reconstructed version of the 'editio princeps.' The narrative follows the life of Làzaro, a young boy who becomes a servant to a series of masters, each more eccentric and flawed than the last. Through Làzaroâ€(TM)s eyes, the novel provides a satirical and often humorous commentary on Spanish society, the Church, and the prevailing social mores of the time.
This edition allows modern readers to appreciate the novel's enduring influence and its significant contribution to the development of the novelistic form. 'La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes' remains a compelling and relevant exploration of poverty, survival, and the human condition.
