About this audiobook
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
Miguel de Cervantes was born on September 29, 1547, in Alcala de Henares, Spain. At twenty-three he enlisted in the Spanish militia and in 1571 fought against the Turks in the Battle of Lepanto, where a gunshot wound permanently crippled his left hand. He spent four more years at sea and then another five as a slave after being captured by Barbary pirates. Ransomed by his family, he returned to Madrid but his disability hampered him; it was in debtor's prison that he began to write Don Quixote. Cervantes wrote many other works, including poems and plays, but he remains best known as the author of Don Quixote. He died on April 23, 1616.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Grandiosos los clásicos castellanos, siempre conviene tenerlos cerca y disfrutarlos.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lazarillo, the prototypical picaresque from way back in 1554, is really interesting and like most prototypes, kind of funny-looking. The characters don’t even have names and the episodes vary oddly in tone and length. The figure of the out at heels nobleman who is starving himself to death rather than betray his honour is genuinely affecting. And the title character seems good at heart, too, sharing his last scraps of food with his fellows in poverty. Poor little Lazarus. Quevedo’s El Buscón is the cynical example of the genre I’ve read. The Swindler – character and book – revels in filth, real and moral, seems to be deliberately offensive. This is admirable of course but also kinda tiring to read. This Penguin Classics edition has a good introduction by translator Michael Alpert which grounds the texts in their literary and socio-historical contexts. Recommended.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It was a really short reading. The author, anonymus, was really able to let me visualize Lázaro's life and sufferings. Also the footnotes of this edition really helped me to grasp the deeper meaning many of the passages have.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I read this book because it is cited as possibly the first modern novel. It was written in the 1560s. Like many early books, it is written in the first person, somewhat like a letter addressed to the reader. This book tells the story of Lazaro, a poor young man who serves several different masters as he attempts to make his way in the world. It is, at times, critical of the clergy and government -- in the way Lazaro describes what is happening. It's a short book, worth reading if you appreciate the development of literature. It reminded me a little of Candide.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The tale of Lazaro, a boy who tries to survive by working for different people and what he does to survive his ordeal. It's very short which is part of the charm, but I'm not really sure if I will remember much of it (in time).
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Navertelling van de schelmenroman uit midden 16de eeuw. De humor is boertig en kluchtig ; Lazarillo is een echte antiheld en de episodische structuur van het verhaal doet sterk denken aan Apuleius. Vooral vrouwen en kerkelijke figuren spelen een naieve rol.
