Swindler and Lazarillo de Tormes

The heroes of the Spanish novels make their way through a seamy underworld populated by unsavoury beggars, corrupt priests, eccentrics, whores and criminals. Lazarillo de Tormes and Pablos the swindler are determined to attain the trappings of the gentleman, but have little time for the gentlemanly ideals of religion, justice, honour and nobility.

Eroii romanelor spaniole isi croiesc drum printr-o lume interlopa plina de oameni, populata de cersetori neplacuti, preoti corupti, excentrici, curve si criminali. Lazarillo de Tormes si escrocul Pablos sunt hotarati sa obtina capcanele domnului, dar au putin timp pentru idealurile gentlemane de religie, dreptate, onoare si noblete.
