The Life and Adventures of Guzman D'Alfarache, or the Spanish Rogue, vol. 2/3

"The Life and Adventures of Guzman D'Alfarache, or the Spanish Rogue, vol. 2/3" by Mateo Alemán is a picaresque novel published in two parts in 1599 and 1604. This first-person narrative follows a young street urchin through roguish misadventures as he matures into adulthood. Part adventure tale, part moralizing sermon, the work chronicles the exploits of an antihero born into infamy who navigates a lower-class world of delinquency. His journey ultimately leads to condemnation as a galley-slave, where he seeks absolution for his past sins. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
