The short novel that birthed the picaresque genre. It tells the tale of Lazarillo de Tormes, a poor, clever child from Salamanca, surviving under the cruelty and incompetence of many masters. A biting criticism of the corruption and rot beneath the veneer of 16th century Spain, then at the height of its powers.
