About this audiobook
La vida de un picaro espanol. La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes y de sus fortunas y adversidades es el titulo completo de la novela anonima que al ser publicada en 1554, creo todo un genero, el de la novela picaresca. Es un relato agil, hecho en primera persona por el protagonista, nacido a la orilla de Tormes, el rio que pasa por Salamanca, y que desde su primera infancia lleva una penosa existencia de vagabundeo y de servidumbre, en especial para un ciego, del cual toma el apodo de lazarillo. Tiene que defenderse con su ingenio y por eso la obra presenta una serie de cuadros, de fondo satirico, pero acertados como pocos y que en conjunto forman un relato entretenido, con un fondo un tanto inmoral, pero que ha fascinado a generaciones de lectores, que encuentran en esas aventuras una amena lectura, llena de humor y de ironia.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Muy buena narración. Muy profesional. Bien matizado.
Lo disfruté mucho. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Ni la lei en el colegio, pero nunca es tarde .
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Navertelling van de schelmenroman uit midden 16de eeuw. De humor is boertig en kluchtig ; Lazarillo is een echte antiheld en de episodische structuur van het verhaal doet sterk denken aan Apuleius. Vooral vrouwen en kerkelijke figuren spelen een naieve rol.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5very funny, ironic, satirical. short and enjoyable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lazarillo, the prototypical picaresque from way back in 1554, is really interesting and like most prototypes, kind of funny-looking. The characters don’t even have names and the episodes vary oddly in tone and length. The figure of the out at heels nobleman who is starving himself to death rather than betray his honour is genuinely affecting. And the title character seems good at heart, too, sharing his last scraps of food with his fellows in poverty. Poor little Lazarus. Quevedo’s El Buscón is the cynical example of the genre I’ve read. The Swindler – character and book – revels in filth, real and moral, seems to be deliberately offensive. This is admirable of course but also kinda tiring to read. This Penguin Classics edition has a good introduction by translator Michael Alpert which grounds the texts in their literary and socio-historical contexts. Recommended.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was fun! I do like a good picaresque story now and again, and this stone-cold classic of the subgenre did not disappoint me much. The main character, Lazaro, is a down-on-his-luck rogue, who prefers easy money and free food to honest work and paying his dues. He serves a succession of masters, each of which is a terrible human being, and develops a taste for conning people along the way. It’s unapologetic in its comedy and gleefully and consistently mocks 16thC authority figures, and it does so echoing New Testament verbiage when appropriate. Good stuff. My edition also included a sequel, written after the original had become popular, and which purports to be by the same author as the first instalment (although it isn’t). That one was less fun: it’s less concerned with taking up overinflated authorities and more with illustrating the dog-eat-dog world that is everyday life. Everyone tries to out-con everyone else, and while that setup leads to more overt laughs, it’s a more diffuse approach as well. This section also indulges a little in fantastical nonsense when Lazaro is suddenly able to survive under water, which is a jarring break with the rest of the narrative.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It was a really short reading. The author, anonymus, was really able to let me visualize Lázaro's life and sufferings. Also the footnotes of this edition really helped me to grasp the deeper meaning many of the passages have.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I read this book because it is cited as possibly the first modern novel. It was written in the 1560s. Like many early books, it is written in the first person, somewhat like a letter addressed to the reader. This book tells the story of Lazaro, a poor young man who serves several different masters as he attempts to make his way in the world. It is, at times, critical of the clergy and government -- in the way Lazaro describes what is happening. It's a short book, worth reading if you appreciate the development of literature. It reminded me a little of Candide.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The tale of Lazaro, a boy who tries to survive by working for different people and what he does to survive his ordeal. It's very short which is part of the charm, but I'm not really sure if I will remember much of it (in time).
