| Full title | La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes y de sus fortunas y adversidades (anonymous). |
| Date | First printed 1554 (Seville). |
| Genre | Picaresque novel â a firstâperson, episodic tale of a lowâborn rogue navigating a corrupt society. |
| Structure | Six tratados (chapters) each detailing Lazarilloâs service under a different master: a blind beggar, a miserly priest, a squire, a chaplain, a pardoner, and a bailiff. |
| Major themes | ⢠Social critique â the Church, aristocracy, and legal system are exposed as hypocritical.
⢠Survival vs. morality â Lazarillo learns to cheat, lie, and steal to survive, raising questions about ethics in a hostile world.

⢠John R. King (HarperCollins, 2014).
