Picarelo novels were very popular in Spain during the 16th and 17th periods and were an important part of Spanish literature. The selected articles in this book include "The Little Leper", "The Liar" and two short stories by Cervantes. The protagonists of the works are usually little people from the bottom of society. They narrate their lives and experiences through the first person. Although they make people laugh, they also express the humbleness and desolation of the bottom.
