| Note | 'El Buscon', a model for hobos and mirror of misers,is a picaresque novel by Francisco de Quevedo. It was written around 1604 and published in 1626 by a press in Zaragoza (without Quevedo's permission, though it had circulated in manuscript form previous to that.
Pablos sets out in life with two aims: to learn virtue and to become a caballero (gentleman). He fails miserably at both. El Buscón has been considered a profound satire on Spanish life, but also as a literary exercise for Quevedo, in that he was able to utilize word-play and verbal flourishes and his skill as a literary caricaturist. El Buscón also propounds the notion that children of parents without honor will never be able to achieve honor themselves. |
