The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes: (La Vida de Lazarillo de Tormes y de Sus Fortunas y Adversidades)

Lazarillo de Tormes (1554) is here offered facing the brilliant Tudor English translation of David Rowland of Anglesey (1586). Ostensibly a racy autobiography of a young rogue and his succession of masters, in reality it is a comical and caustic exposé of sixteenth century Spanish society, and especially the Church.
