Synopsis

Often described as the first picaresque novel, this concise classic is recognised as a notable work of Spanish literature. It follows a rogue through a sequence of adventures and misadventures, told with a spare, direct style.

Laconic cynicism runs through the narrative, while puns and wordplay add a sharp linguistic edge. With its dual-language presentation and supporting apparatus, it is particularly suited to readers with an interest in language.
