Title Vida De Lazarillo De Tormes Y De Sus Fortunas Y Adversidades
Summary "La Vida de Lazarillo de Tormes y de sus Fortunas y Adversidades" by Anonymous is a picaresque novel written in the early 16th century. The story follows the life of Lazarillo, a clever young boy, as he navigates a harsh world filled with poverty and deceit while serving a series of increasingly cruel masters. The opening chapters introduce us to Lazarillo's background, detailing his humble beginnings as the son of a miller and his struggles after his father's imprisonment and eventual death. In the opening portion of the novel, Lazarillo recounts his early life and the trials he faced after being orphaned. His mother moves him to Salamanca, where she struggles to provide for him by working for students and eventually finds a romantic interest in a man named Zaide. This relationship leads to misfortune when Zaide's thefts result in them being discovered, forcing Lazarillo's mother to take a new path. Subsequently, Lazarillo is entrusted to a blind man, who exploits his innocence and naivety. This introduction establishes Lazarillo’s plight and resilience, setting the stage for his journey through various hardships and the wit he employs to survive in a life dictated by the whims of fate and the folly of those around him.
