"Historia de la vida del Buscón, llamado Don Pablos, ejemplo de vagabundos…” by Francisco de Quevedo y Villegas is a picaresque novel written in the early 17th century. The book chronicles the life of Don Pablos, a young man from Segovia who navigates a world filled with poverty, deceit, and the struggle to rise above his circumstances. Through his adventures and misadventures, the story explores themes of social class, morality, and the often harsh realities of life for those on the fringes of society. The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist, Don Pablos, and provides a glimpse into his early life and family background. He recounts the dubious profession of his father, a barber with aspirations of grandeur, and his mother, who is claimed to be a skilled beautician, but is also rumored to dabble in dubious practices. The narrative begins with a humorous tone, highlighting the absurdities and misfortunes of familial expectations and childhood experiences. Don Pablos reflects on his upbringing, the influence of his parents' wickedness, his own ambitions, and his subsequent decisions, setting the stage for a life of cunning and survival as he seeks to escape the limitations of his birth.
