La vida del lazarillo de Tormes

Lzaro de Tormes, boy of humble origin, tells us his history in first person. Although without honor, he was born in the river of Salamanca, the Tormes; stayed an orphan, a miller thief, and was put in the service of a blind manThrough fortunes and adversities, Lzaro evolves from his initial naivety developing a true survival instinct. With a sense of humor and a satirical lens, Lzaro speaks to us of the reality of a country of beggars, clergy that dont practice charity, gentlemen reluctant of work and preoccupied only by their honor, bull sellers that take advantage of the good faith of the people and young people whos main aspiration is to not go hungry. The themes, impeccable writing, great analysis of the social circumstances, the epoch and on top of it all, the vital impulse of the protagonist makes La vida de Lzarillo of Tormes as one of the top works within literature.
