As the pioneering work of picaresque novels, "The Little Leper" takes little Lazarus as the narrative subject, recounts his many unfortunate and ridiculous encounters, and outlines a series of characters with different personalities: a greedy and vicious blind man, a cruel and stingy priest, a ruined and humble nobleman, etc. Following the wandering footsteps of little Lazarus, the true current situation of Spanish society in the 16th century emerges vividly on the page. The whole work is full of witty words, and uses its unique language expression to shake out the filth and devastation of the world piece by piece.
