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

"The Life and Adventures of Guzman D'Alfarache, or the Spanish Rogue, vol. 3/3" by Mateo Alemán is a picaresque novel published in two parts in 1599 and 1604. This first-person narrative follows a young street urchin's roguish adventures as he matures into adulthood, weaving together engaging storytelling with moral commentary on society's sins. The antihero navigates a lower-class world of delinquency and misadventures, ultimately facing condemnation as a galley-slave while seeking absolution for his past.
