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.

Work Description

La vida del Buscón (de título completo Historia de la vida del Buscón, llamado don Pablos; ejemplo de vagamundos y espejo de tacaños, y conocida también como El Buscón)​ es una novela picaresca en castellano, escrita por Francisco de Quevedo. El libro se publicó por primera vez en 1626, aunque circuló antes en copias manuscritas algunas de las cuales se conservan hoy en día. Quevedo nunca reconoció haber escrito El Buscón, probablemente para esquivar problemas con la Inquisición, y su silencio sobre esta obra, pese a estar la autoría fuera de toda duda, ha incrementado los problemas en la datación de su composición. Se han propuesto fechas que van de 1604 a 1620 y un proceso de reelaboración posterior en el que Quevedo estaría trabajando hasta cerca de 1640.


El Buscón (full title Historia de la vida del Buscón, llamado Don Pablos, ejemplo de vagamundos y espejo de tacaños (literally: History of the life of the Swindler, called Don Pablos, model for hobos and mirror of misers); translated as Paul the Sharper or The Scavenger and The Swindler) is a picaresque novel by Francisco de Quevedo. It was written around 1604 (the exact date of completion is not known) and published in 1626 by a press in Zaragoza (without Quevedo's permission, though it had circulated in manuscript form previous to that.
