'Lazarillo de Tormes' Summary
Born to a humble family in Salamanca, Lázaro is orphaned at a young age and forced to fend for himself. He falls into the service of a blind beggar, who teaches him the tricks of the trade. Together, they travel the countryside, Lazarillo guiding his master and begging for alms. But the blind man is cruel and greedy, and Lazarillo eventually leaves his service. He then works for a series of other masters, including a priest, a squire, and a chaplain. Each experience teaches Lazarillo more about the world and its injustices. He learns to be resourceful and cunning, but he also becomes disillusioned with humanity. By the time he reaches adulthood, Lazarillo has become a hardened survivor. He has learned to accept the world as it is, and he has no illusions about the possibility of changing it.Book Details
