The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes - The Disability of Lazarillo de Tormes

Japanese: ラサリーリョ・デ・トルメスの生涯 - ラサリーリョデトルメスのしょうがい(英語表記)Vida de Lazarillo de Tormes
The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes - The Disability of Lazarillo de Tormes
A novel of unknown author published in 1554. It was hugely popular in 16th and 17th century Spain, and was the beginning of the genre known as the rogue novel, which had a major influence on subsequent European realism novels. In terms of literary history, it is thought to have emerged as a reaction against the extreme idealism seen in the chivalric and pastoral novels that were popular at the time. Lázaro, a boy raised at the bottom of society, serves various masters to make a living, including a blind man, a poor clergyman, a country gentleman who is a slacker but has a strong ego, and a Mercedi friar. He finally secures the position of "confessor" in the city of Toledo, and marries the mistress of the dean.

Japanese:
1554年に出版された作者不詳の小説。16,17世紀のスペインで大流行し,その後のヨーロッパ・リアリズム小説に大きな影響を与えた悪者小説と呼ばれるジャンルの嚆矢(こうし)となった。文学史的には,当時流行していた騎士道小説や牧人小説に見られる極端な理想主義的傾向に対する反動として現れたと考えられる。社会の最下層に育った少年ラサロは生活のため,盲人,貧しい聖職者,すかんぴんのくせに自尊心だけは強い郷士,そしてメルセード修道会士など,さまざまな主人に仕えるが,最後にトレド市の〈ふれ役〉という官職にありつき,首席司祭の情婦と結婚する。
