Classic Picaresque Novels (Golden Deer Classics)

The picaresque novel (Spanish: “picaresca,” from «pícaro,” for “rogue” or “rascal”) is a genre of prose fiction that depicts the adventures of a roguish hero/heroine of low social class who lives by his or her wits in a corrupt society. Picaresque novels typically adopt a realistic style, with elements of comedy and satire.
