\u201cThe Life of Lazarillo de Tormes and of His Fortunes and Adversities\u201d is a short but very interesting novel, published anonymously in 1554, which is considered the precursor of Cervantes \u201cDon Quixote\u201d. The reason why the author didn\u2019t want to be known could be the \u201cheretic\u201d content of this satiric novel: it was included in the\u201dIndex of Forbidden Books\u201d by the Spanish Inquisition. It was over four centuries later that we found out the name of the alleged writer: Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, a renaissance man born in the Alhambra, whose life would be a perfect topic for another post.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The book is written in the form of a letter, and it talks about the life of Lazaro Gonzalez Perez, a humble boy who was born in the river Tormes, in Salamanca. If you ever visit the town you will see a statue of both the Lazarillo (as a reference to guide dogs) and his blind master next to the Roman bridge, as well as the stone bull where Lazaro’s head was knocked in one his first adventures.<\/p>\n

After the Prologue, we read about Lazaro’s life and his apprenticeship with several masters. \"\"<\/a>There are no names in the novel, just \u201cthe blind man,”, the priest\u201d, “the squire,”, \u201cthe friar\u201d, “the pardoner\u201d, \u201cthe peddlar\u201d, \u201cthe chaplain\u201d and \u201cthe constable\u201d; and Lazaro’s experiences with each of them are related in every Chapter or \u201ctreatise\u201d. Our protagonist will grow from a na\u00efve child to a survivor in those hard times, getting at the end a \u201cgood\u201d life due to his wife’s adulterous relationship with the archbishop. As opposed to chivalry novels, Lazarillo depicts in a vivid and realistic manner the misfortunes of poor people, and the hypocrisy and low values of higher classes. A good example of it is the fact that Lazaro’s nourishment decreases as the social class of his master goes up.<\/p>\n

So if you need a good reading for this summer which will provide you with a good laugh, have \u201cLazarillo de Tormes\u201d in mind. And to help you, here is a link to the novel both in English and Spanish: http:\/\/www.4olin.com\/indice.html<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
