Summary

Booka Audiobooks brings you, for the first time in English and accompanied by an original music score, The Life of Lazarillo of Tormes. This is the book that founded a literary genre during the Spanish Golden Age: the picaresque novel. Lazarillo is a boy of humble origins. After his stepfather is accused of thievery, his mother asks a wily blind beggar to take Lazarillo on as his apprentice. Little Lazaro develops his cunning while serving the blind beggar and several other masters.

Dated but well delivered

This 1908 translation holds up in every respect but the introduction: a wearisome and inaccurate genealogy of Spaniards made entertaining only by the narrator's charming Castilian lisp. Skip through that, and the story is rich, entertaining and pleasantly brief.
