Produktbeschreibung
The best books ever written. Edition by Edmond Cros, professor emeritus of Spanish and Latin American Literature at the University in Montpellier. The son of a thief and a witch, Pablos, the Swindler, begins to work for a rich young man, lives in Alcalá in the court, and ends up traveling to America. Although its plot isn't very different from other works in the genre, The Swindler isn't your typical picaresque novel. The mastery of its writing, the vivacity and sarcasm in the description of characters and situations, the intelligent cruelty of its anecdotes make it a work that exceeds the limits of its genre, a picaresque novel that turns the archetype up a notch. This edition includes an introduction that contextualizes the work, a system of notes, a timeline, and an essential bibliography, as well as several discussion and debate prompts based on the reading. It is under the care of Edmond Cros, professor emeritus at Paul Valéry University in Montpellier. "When misfortunes begin for someone, it seems like they never stop, that they are linked together, and each one brings more."
Autorenporträt
Francisco de Quevedo (Madrid, 1580-Villanueva de los Infantes, 1645) estudió en las universidades de Alcalá de Henares y Valladolid, ciudad en la que empezó a nacer su fama de gran poeta, para luego continuar su formación y sus trabajos como literato y traductor en Madrid en 1606, de entre los que destaca la primera versión en nuestra lengua de la obra de Anacreonte, encargada por el duque de Osuna. De su mano, participó como secretario de estado en las intrigas entre las repúblicas italianas en 1613, lo que le valió para ingresar como caballero, tres años más tarde, en la Orden de Santiago. Contemporáneo de Lope de Vega o Luis de Góngora, se cuenta, como ellos, entre los más destacados escritores del Siglo de Oro español.
