Beschrijving

Step into the whimsical world of Lazarillo de Tormes, a timeless tale from the Spanish Golden Age that has influenced literary giants like Cervantes in Don Quixote. This charming yet poignant collection of stories follows the life of young Lazarillo, a homeless street urchin driven to seek out various masters after his father’s arrest and his mother’s poverty leave him alone in the world. Each master proves to be more unscrupulous than the last, forcing Lazarillo to rely on his cunning and resourcefulness to survive. With a sharp eye for the absurdities of society, this clever boy navigates a landscape rife with greed and injustice, particularly towards the vulnerable—children and women alike. Laced with wit and humor, the anonymous author deftly critiques the social inequalities of his time, especially targeting the Church, which is why the identity of the author remains a captivating mystery nearly 500 years later.
