I look doubtful to recommend this work of Quevedo. This I am not questioning the quality of such work, because it would be ridiculous to delve into the subject. It's a classic, period. But a classic peculiar, because here we find the picaresque in the extreme. It is an almost grotesque (Valle-Inclán here have something to say) literature: the description of the characters is a real cartoon, nothing scatological moments, or miserable most incredible events intersect with each other without stopping for a second throughout history. This will result in more than a laugh a reader during the reading will be the entertainment.
For example, a strong caricature is the description:
| entered, the first Sunday after Easter, in the hands of the hungry live, because that little bit off does not support burden. He was a clergyman blowgun over only at the waist, small head, eyes, resident in the neck, seemed to look for baskets, so deep and dark it was good place to store his merchants and the nose, body saint, eaten the peak, between Rome and France, because he had eaten a cold búas, were not yet of vice because they cost money, the colorless beards of fear in the face neighbor, who out of sheer hunger seemed threatened to eat them, the teeth, I do not know how many were missing, and I think idlers and vagabonds that they had been banished, and the long throat like an ostrich, with a nut as output seemed to be going in search of food forced the need, the dry arms, hands like a bunch of branches each. Half looked down seemed fork or bar, with two long, skinny legs. Its very spacious walk-if something was broken down, it sounded like shingles bones of St. Lazarus. The hectic speaking, big beard, who never cut it for not spending, and he said he was both disgusted that gave him see the hand of the barber from his face, once such a killing would allow. A boy's hair Cortábale us. He wore a hat on sunny days thousand mice fat cattery and fittings, was something that was cloth, with backgrounds in dandruff. The cassock, as some said, was miraculous, because nobody knew what color it was. Some, seeing it as no hair, and had leather frog, others said it was illusion, from near and afar looked black from blue. Llevábala without tightening, brought no neck or cuffs. It seemed, to this and the long hair and a cassock and bonetón, teatino woolly. Each shoe could be grave of a Philistine. Well, does your room? Although there were no spiders in it. Mice conjured fear not some crumbs that kept Royer. The bed was on the floor, and slept always on one side for not spending the sheets. Finally, he was archipobre and protomiseria |
However, these classics have the disadvantage of the old Castilian, and I noticed that the Buscón is a work with a common vocabulary that forces go to consultation a dictionary. I recommend issues that explain the strange words, issues that anyone can find it easily. It is recommended for reading to liven up a save the search in the pages of a dictionary.
Finally, even with the necessary consulting the dictionary, I recommend this book because it meets its objectives very well entertainment and show the Spain of that time. A delight, a sweet wine to savor and celebrate, because this book is a feast of subnormal, strangers, ricachuelos and miserable. Period. Anyway, here you have the hunger that was passed at that time and were so consistent that those soups:
"He blessed the foaming pots and crosses made with the bucket. I think the spirits conjured by gouging out because he had no flesh "
