    Una amena adaptación para jóvenes lectores de la obra cumbre de la novela picaresca española, escrita en forma de autobiografía y publicada sin firma: una decisión prudente, a juzgar por las críticas que vierte contra diversos estamentos sociales. Lázaro, un niño pobre, se ve obligado a trabajar al servicio de diferentes amos. El fantasma del hambre y la desgracia le persigue y le obliga a desarrollar su ingenio para sobrevivir. Sus aventuras ofrecen una panorámica inmejorable de la sociedad de la época y, con un humor difícil de superar, ponen al descubierto la hipocresía escondida en la mayoría de los comportamientos humanos.

    English Translation

    The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes

    A lively young-reader adaptation of the masterpiece of the Spanish picaresque novel, first published anonymously—a prudent choice, given its sharp criticism of the social classes of the day. Told as an autobiography, it follows Lázaro, a poor boy forced to serve one master after another. Haunted by hunger and misfortune, he must sharpen his wits simply to survive. His adventures paint an unmatched portrait of the society of his time and, with unbeatable humor, expose the hypocrisy hidden behind most human behavior.
