| Summary | "La Novela Picaresca" by Federico Ruiz Morcuende is a literary anthology likely compiled in the early 20th century. This collection delves into the picaresque genre, with an emphasis on the character Lázaro de Tormes, who recounts his life from his humble beginnings to his complex interactions with various masters, showcasing the themes of survival, social critique, and human folly. The opening of the narrative introduces Lázaro, the protagonist, detailing his origins as the son of a miller born by the River Tormes. After his father's imprisonment and subsequent death, Lázaro's mother seeks refuge in the city, ultimately entrusting him to a blind man who is both cunning and miserly. As Lázaro learns to navigate the hardships of life, he uses wit to survive under the oppressive conditions set by his master, highlighting the clever and resourceful nature often required in his socio-economic environment. This initial section sets the tone for a tale rich in humor, irony, and a poignant reflection on the societal issues of the time. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
