"Historia de la vida del Buscón, llamado Don Pablos, ejemplo de vagabundos y espejo de tacaños" by Francisco de Quevedo is a picaresque novel written between 1603 and 1608, though first published in 1626.
Young Pablos, son of a thieving barber and a mother given to witchcraft, narrates his journey through Spanish society's darker corners. Following the bitter tradition of "Lazarillo de Tormes," this tale charts one man's deliberate choices as he navigates a world of rogues and misers, questioning whether fate or free will shapes a life of deception.
