Frank Loveland, a professor of a short certified course in Ibero-American literature that I am taking, said to the class that the only thing one should achieve if he wants to become famous or that his name could be remembered for ages in the literature world is to establish, without any doubt, who was the author of this work.
Any volunteers?
Even though we don’t know the answer yet, we can enjoy and talk about Lazarillo here.
This is the story of Lázaro, a poor boy who needs to work as the servant of different masters to survive. From each of his masters he learns valuable lessons for living, lessons about the moral values of his society, and at the same time, he amuses us. Well, I have to admit this is done with a very simple humor, like a Tom and Jerry’s cartoon. But it amuses, anyway.
From those who have read the book… who doesn’t remember the tricks the Lazarillo played to the blind man?
