Lazarillo De Tormes
The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes and of His Fortunes and Adversities (Spanish: La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes y de sus fortunas y adversidades) is a Spanish novella, published anonymously because of its heretical content. It was published simultaneously in two cities, in 1554 in Alcalá de Henares, Spain (seven years after Cervantes was born there), and, in 1555 in Antwerp, Flanders, which was then under Spanish rule, and where the similarly picaresque book Till Eulenspiegel had been published in 1529. The book was published while the Spanish Inquisition were active and about to instigate trials against Lutherans.
