The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes is a Spanish novella, published anonymously because of its anticlerical content. L???zaro is a boy of humble origins from Salamanca. After his stepfather is accused of thievery, his mother asks a wily blind beggar to take on Lazarillo (little L???zaro) as his apprentice. L???zaro develops his cunning while serving the blind beggar and several other masters, while also learning to take on his father's practice. Besides its importance in the Spanish literature of the Golden Age, Lazarillo de Tormes is credited with founding a literary genre, the picaresque novel, from the Spanish word p???caro, meaning "rogue" or "rascal." In novels of this type, the adventures of the p???caro expose injustice while amusing the reader. Its influence extends to twentieth century novels, dramas and films featuring the "anti-hero".
