Lazarillo de Tormes, Graphic novel adaptation by Enriqueta Zafra and Jesus Mora (illustrations) This graphic novel adaptation offers a never seen before image of Lazarillo, one that takes into account recent interpretations and studies about the lives and times of the infamous protagonist and his case (a ménage à trois) in a mass appealing format that will satisfy the academic and the general public alike.Furthermore, Lazarillo graphic novel adaptation offers a new approach to old questions about a book that has puzzled readers and critics alike for centuries. Who was its mysterious author? Why did the Inquisition forbid this seemingly harmless book? Who read this book and how was it understood? These and other questions recreated in the graphic novel aim to offer the modern reader a broader vision of the fortunes and adversities that this book "lived" and how against all odds became a literary classic.
