Paperback. Condizione: Fair. Sometime around 1550 a little book, published anonymously, appeared in Spain. It purported to relate the life of one Lazarillo of Tormes, whose only goal since childhood had been to fill his empty belly. For its wit, unerring characterizations, realistic observation, and its sage acceptance of life, the tale went straight to the hearts of all Spain. Immediately translated into other languages, it was soon being read with delight throughout Europe. A masterpiece had been born, and for centuries it has endeared itself to new generations of readers and has won the praise of critics of every school and taste. In this modern but faithful version by Robert S. Rudder the reader will be able to read the entire book as it was experienced by the readers of the sixteenth century. Several imitators attempted to fill their purses by riding on the shirttails of that beloved book, using Lazarillo's name as part of their title. Of them all, the only one that can lay claim to literary merit of its own is the Second Part of the Life of Lazarillo of Tormes (1620) written by Juan de Luna. This author was a political and religious refugee in France, who spent his last years as a Protestant minister in London. Juan de Luna may have had to flee from the Inquisition because of his bitterness toward the clergy. About this attitude he leaves us in no doubt; in his novel the satire on the church is blunt and devastating. But this venom did not hinder Juan de Luna from telling a witty, entertaining, spicy story. The unknown author of the First Part, who starts his tale by having the narrator state frankly that writers want glory - they want to be rewarded.with people seeing and reading their works, and if there is something worthwhile in them, they would like some praise - not only gained his wish but initiated a literary genre that is still very much alive, the picaresque novel. To this tradition belong Tom Jones, Huckleberry Finn, Moll Flanders, and in our own day, The Tin Drum. This edition is superbly illustrated with seventy-three drawings by the Dutch painter Leonard Bramer (1596-1674). The drawings, reproduced here by permission, are in the keeping of the Graphische Sammlung in Munich. Codice articolo CIN0593081447A

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Suplico a Vuestra Merced reciba el pobre servicio de mano de quien lo hiciera mas rico, si su poder y deseo se conformaran. Y pues Vuestra Merced escribe se le escriba y relate el caso muy por extenso, paresciome no tomalle por el medio, sino del principio, porque se tenga entera noticia de mi persona; y tambien porque consideren los que heredaron nobles estados cuan poco se les debe, pues Fortuna fue con ellos parcial, y cuanto mas hicieron los que, siendoles contraria, con fuerza y mana remando, salieron a buen puerto. Pues sepa Vuestra Merced, ante todas cosas, que a mi llaman Lazaro de Tormes En los dos mil anos de la literatura occidental no se habia escrito otro libro como ese Lazarillo que al mediar el Quinientos llegaba a las manos de los espanoles (y pronto de todos los europeos), porque posiblemente ninguno habia tratado nunca antes a un personaje de la pobre categoria de Lazaro con una atencion tan amplia y tan extremada, tan respetuosa con el punto de vista que un pregonero en sus condiciones podria haber tenido de si mismo, y tan centrada en la materialidad y en las minucias cotidianas de la existencia.[] Nos consta que no se conocia ninguna otra narracion en prosa con las singulares caracteristicas, con el insolito y ambiguo modo de ser del Lazarillo de Tormes. Porque el tal libro era historia o era ficcion? [] De ahi que al verdadero autor no se le pasara por la cabeza revelarnos su nombre, que sigue ocultandosenos, y es de temer que sin remedio. Porque, en rigor, el Lazarillo no es tanto un libro anonimo, de pluma ignorada, como mas propiamente un libro apocrifo, atribuido a un falso autor, el propio protagonista, Lazaro de Tormes.Francisco RicoENGLISH DESCRIPTION An annonymous book originally called "La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes y de sus fortunas y adversidades", whose oldest known edition was published in 1554. It is set in the 16th century and tells the adventures of Lazaro de Tormes, from his birth until he gets married. It is an ironic and harsh portrait of society at the time. The text is written as a very long letter and the events are told in first person - it is the protagonist who is speaking. Because of its moralising and pessimistic tone, and because of the realistic elements, as well as the structure and first person narrative, "Lazarillo de Tormes" is unanimously considered to be the precursor of picaresque novel, a genre that was widely developed throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. An important work of Spains Golden Age of literature, Lazarillo de Tormes portrays the clever ploys of a young Salamancan boy determined to outsmart his long string of masters. This Spanish novella was first published, during the Spanish Inquisition, by an author who wished to remain anonymous due to the works heretical content. Young Lazarillo is an improbable hero of his time, for he comes from a poor and multiracial family who desperately apprentice him to a blind beggar after committing a crime. Lazarillo soon proves himself to be resourceful and resistant to the corrupt clergymen he must serve. Banned for heresy due to its highly critical portrayal of both the aristocracy and Catholic Church of the 16th century, this work came to provide a model for Cervantes and many future authors, like Twain, who explored the picaresque genre. Though originally published at great risk to the author, Lazarillo de Tormes is today an entertaining story of a boy who ingenuously survives his own childhood and makes something of himself despite the corruption that he must continually overcome.
