Lazarillo de Tormes and The Grifter (El Buscon): Two Novels of the Low Life in Golden Age Spain (Hackett Classics) Book

An elegant, precise, and accessible modern-English rendering of the two best examples of the early modern picaresque genre: the paradigmatic Lazarillo de Tormes and Quevedo's mordant El Buscon . Frye's translations are triumphant, capturing the cadence of popular early modern speech while remaining faithful to the original texts; his notes illuminate the diverse contexts in which the texts were written. Frye gives careful attention throughout to the historical background that propelled these two parallel but different monuments of Golden Age Spanish literature. --Teofilo Ruiz, UCLARead More
