Why is this masterpiece so unknown out of Spain?

>> No.14721446

>>14721381
It's very well known in Hispanic America as well but other than that, you're right.

>> No.14721463

It's known by people interested in Don Quixote, which is one of the most famous novels.

>> No.14721615

There are many, many great works written in castillian that few anglos even know of. And vice versa, naturally (albeit to a lesser degree due to their cultural hegemony)

>> No.14721666

That really is a fun and boisterous read. Pretty good throw-up gag in there for instance.

>> No.14721733

Which is better literature, Lazarillo or El Cid ?

>> No.14721749

>>14721733
El Cid lacks its first page, so Lazarillo wins.

>>14721733
El Lazarillo is far more practical for modern life. It helps you cope with being a wagie and a cuck (every man nowadays is likely to be one). You don't go anywhere being a loyal, honorable, Christian warrior.

I had to read it in highschool, though I hated it at the time because of how fucking ancient the spanish was

Which books exactly? Wanna read them if they as good as Lazarilio

I prefer La celestina

It's short and fun. Definitely worth it.

That looks quite interesting, I'll put it on my reading list

>> No.14725560

I'm from Brazil and read it last year. Completely unknown, and for good reason: it's old as fuck. Nothing this old is famous outside its linguistic sphere.

if you can read Spanish, El Cid, if you can't, El Lazarillo.
