ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Written in the mid-16th century by an author who wished to remain anonymous, Lazarillo de Tormes is the first known picaresque novel and the model for modern European literature. Every element of a classic literary work is present: originality of theme, impeccable composition, and exceptional analysis of the social circumstances of the time. The young and improbable hero of this novel has joined the group of literary characters without whom we we’d be at a loss to understand our present.
