The Pleasant History of Lazarillo de Tormes is a classic Spanish novel written by Diego Hurtado de Mendoza. It was first published anonymously in 1554 and is considered to be the first picaresque novel in Spanish literature. The story is told through the eyes of Lazarillo, a poor boy who is forced to become a servant to a series of different masters in order to survive. Each of his masters is more cunning and cruel than the last, and Lazarillo must use his wits to survive their mistreatment. The novel is a satirical critique of Spanish society in the 16th century, and it exposes the corruption and hypocrisy of the church, the nobility, and the wealthy. Despite its controversial content, The Pleasant History of Lazarillo de Tormes has become a beloved classic in Spanish literature and has been translated into numerous languages.His Fortunes And Adversities, Containing The Strange Adventures That Befell Him In The Service Of Sundry Masters, As Written Supposedly By Diego Hurtado De Mendoza; Together With The Pursuit Or Second Part Of His Life, As Related By Juan De Luna.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
