| Summary | "De Zonderlinge Lotgevallen van Gil Blas van Santillano, deel 1 van 2" by Le Sage is a picaresque novel written in the early 18th century. The narrative follows the life of Gil Blas, the son of a Spanish retiree and his wife, as he embarks on a series of adventures that expose both the absurdities and realities of society. Throughout his journey, Gil encounters a range of characters and situations that highlight human folly and vice, mixing humor with social commentary. The opening of the novel introduces us to Gil Blas's humble beginnings in Oviédo and outlines his upbringing under the care of his uncle Gil Perez, who attempts to educate him. As he matures, Gil aspires for a broader existence and embarks on a journey to Salamanca. However, on his way, he faces a series of misadventures beginning with an encounter with a conman and a failed attempt at helping a beggar. Despite these initial setbacks, the narrative hints at the thrilling escapades that await him in the larger world, setting the stage for his evolution from a naive youth to a more worldly-wise character amidst the trials of life.
