About this book

In an era marked by social stratification and moral ambiguity, "Historia de la vida del Buscón, llamado Don Pablos, ejemplo de vagabundos y espejo de tacaños" by Francisco de Quevedo y Villegas emerges as a sharp critique of 17th-century Spanish society. This picaresque novel follows the cunning Don Pablos, whose relentless pursuit of wealth exposes the hypocrisy of a world obsessed with status and materialism. With its vivid portrayal of unrelenting poverty and the art of deception, this work serves as both a cautionary tale and a reflection on human nature. Ideal for students and historians alike, Quevedo’s narrative invites readers to explore themes of survival and moral decay, making it an essential addition to the literary canon.
