The life of Lazarillo de Tormes and its fortunes and adversities (better known as Lazarillo de Tormes) is an anonymous Spanish novel, written in the first person and in epistolary style (as a single long letter), whose oldest known editions date from 1554. In it, the life of a child, Lázaro de Tormes, is told autobiographically, in the sixteenth century, from his birth and miserable childhood to his marriage, as early as adulthood. It is considered a precursor of the picaresque novel by elements such as realism, narration in the first person, itinerant structure, service to several masters and the moralizing and pessimistic ideology.

Lazarillo de Tormes is an ironic and ruthless sketch of the society of the moment, which shows his vices and hypocritical attitudes, especially those of clerics and religious. There are different hypotheses about its authorship. Probably the author was sympathetic to the Erasmian ideas. This motivated that the Inquisition prohibited it and that, later, it allowed its publication, once expurgated. The work was not completely published until the nineteenth century.
