Lazarillo de Tormes and the Swindler
Angebote / Angebote:
The two short novels in this volume follow the adventures of two unlikely heroes-delinquent "p?caros" living by their wits among corrupt priests and prostitutes, beggars and idle gentlemen, thieves, tricksters, and murderers. "Lazarillo de Tormes" (1554), published anonymously, provided a literary model for Cervantes' "Don Quixote" and describes the ingenious ruses employed by a boy from Salamanca to outwit a succession of disreputable masters. Francisco de Quevedo's "The Swindler" (1626) is a comic yet brutal and sordid account of a servant who wants to become a gentleman but ends up a cardsharp and common criminal.
