Description
*La vida del Buscón* (de título completo *Historia de la vida del Buscón, llamado don Pablos; ejemplo de vagamundos y espejo de tacaños,* y conocida también como *El Buscón)* es una novela picaresca en castellano, escrita por Francisco de Quevedo. El libro se publicó por primera vez en 1626, aunque circuló antes en copias manuscritas algunas de las cuales se conservan hoy en día. Quevedo nunca reconoció haber escrito *El Buscón,* probablemente para esquivar problemas con la Inquisición, y su silencio sobre esta obra, pese a estar la autoría fuera de toda duda, ha incrementado los problemas en la datación de su composición. Se han propuesto fechas que van de 1604 a 1620 y un proceso de reelaboración posterior en el que Quevedo estaría trabajando hasta cerca de 1640. ---------- *El Buscón* (full title *Historia de la vida del Buscón, llamado Don Pablos, ejemplo de vagamundos y espejo de tacaños* (literally: History of the life of the Swindler, called Don Pablos, model for hobos and mirror of misers); translated as Paul the Sharper or The Scavenger and The Swindler) is a picaresque novel by Francisco de Quevedo. It was written around 1604 (the exact date of completion is not known) and published in 1626 by a press in Zaragoza (without Quevedo's permission, though it had circulated in manuscript form previous to that.
