"Suplico a Vuestra Merced reciba el pobre servicio de mano de quien lo hiciera más rico, si su poder y deseo se conformaran. Y pues Vuestra Merced escribe se le escriba y relate el caso muy por extenso, parescióme no tomalle por el medio, sino del principio, porque se tenga entera noticia de mi persona; y también porque consideren los que heredaron nobles estados cuán poco se les debe, pues Fortuna fue con ellos parcial, y cuánto más hicieron los que, siéndoles contraria, con fuerza y maña remando, salieron a buen puerto. Pues sepa Vuestra Merced, ante todas cosas, que a mi llaman Lázaro de Tormes..."En los dos mil años de la literatura occidental no se había escrito otro libro como ese Lazarillo que al mediar el Quinientos llegaba a las manos de los españoles (y pronto de todos los europeos), porque posiblemente ninguno había tratado nunca antes a un personaje de la pobre categoría de Lázaro con una atención tan amplia y tan extremada, tan respetuosa con el punto de vista que un pregonero en sus condiciones podría haber tenido de sí mismo, y tan centrada en la materialidad y en las minucias cotidianas de la existencia.[...] Nos consta que no se conocía ninguna otra narración en prosa con las singulares características, con el insólito y ambiguo modo de ser del Lazarillo de Tormes. Porque el tal libro ¿era historia o era ficción? [...] De ahí que al verdadero autor no se le pasara por la cabeza revelarnos su nombre, que sigue ocultándosenos, y es de temer que sin remedio. Porque, en rigor, el Lazarillo no es tanto un libro anónimo, de pluma ignorada, como más propiamente un libro apócrifo, atribuido a un falso autor, el propio protagonista, Lázaro de Tormes.
Francisco Rico ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An annonymous book originally called "La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes y de sus fortunas y adversidades", whose oldest known edition was published in 1554. It is set in the 16th century and tells the adventures of Lázaro de Tormes, from his birth until he gets married. It is an ironic and harsh portrait of society at the time. The text is written as a very long letter and the events are told in first person - it is the protagonist who is speaking. Because of its moralising and pessimistic tone, and because of the realistic elements, as well as the structure and first person narrative, "Lazarillo de Tormes" is unanimously considered to be the precursor of picaresque novel, a genre that was widely developed throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. An important work of Spain's Golden Age of literature, "Lazarillo de Tormes" portrays the clever ploys of a young Salamancan boy determined to outsmart his long string of masters. This Spanish novella was first published, during the Spanish Inquisition, by an author who wished to remain anonymous due to the work's heretical content. Young Lazarillo is an improbable hero of his time, for he comes from a poor and multiracial family who desperately apprentice him to a blind beggar after committing a crime. Lazarillo soon proves himself to be resourceful and resistant to the corrupt clergymen he must serve. Banned for heresy due to its highly critical portrayal of both the aristocracy and Catholic Church of the 16th century, this work came to provide a model for Cervantes and many future authors, like Twain, who explored the picaresque genre. Though originally published at great risk to the author, "Lazarillo de Tormes" is today an entertaining story of a boy who ingenuously survives his own childhood and makes something of himself despite the corruption that he must continually overcome.

Nice shirt, wrong color
The shirt is very nice, but was supposed to be "dirty blue. It is not. A;though the package clearly says "dirty blue", this shirt is a dark grey. Period.
Now, that is not a bad thing, as my outfits can go with blue, grey or brown. But, when I order a particular shade or color, I do like to get it.
The picture on the website depicting what a "dirty blue" shirt looks like, is nothing like what I received.
But, i do like the shirt, and as it happens I like the color. Just not what I ordered.
Now, the size is correct, and the fit is great. The material is nice and soft and quite comfortable to wear. It actually looks good on me!
The quality of the shirt is excellent- the stitching, fabric and style.
The price point is quite favorable, in fact, is is very good. The shirt, overall is a five star shirt, and would be- had i not received a grey shirt instead of a "dirty blue". Still, I would recommend this shirt, especially if color and shade is not paramount to you.

Very nice shirt and fits great
I ordered this shirt for my husband and he loves it! The size fits well and looks great both dressed up or down. The material is lightweight and breathable. He really liked that the buttons are hidden/protected under the outside flap. Overall, very happy with this order and would recommend to anyone.

Great summer shirt
This shirt fits extremely well, it is definitely true to size and no shrinkage or wrinkles after washing. It’s made with 75% polyester 20% viscose and 5% elastane (never heard of the last two). It is very soft and feels nice on the skin with a slight cooling effect. Perfect length to leave untucked. The color is very nice and it has 1 breast pocket with the short sleeves cuffed which makes the shirt look even better. It does have color matched buttons but when it is buttoned it has no show buttons which I think it would look nicer if it was just a regular button down. This shirt will definitely be in my spring and summer rotation.

Great looking shirt
The color and pattern on this shirt is really nice. My camera can't capture it well at all. But in person this shirt is great looking. It is soft and comfortable, easy to wear. Size is true. I'm quite happy with this shirt.

Very well built, will last you a very long time
Style: Trifold, Style: Trifold
This wallet is very sturdy, and barely has any wear on it after I've purchased it over a year ago. Most wallets will start to greatly scuff, wear, or degrade/break down just from being taken in and out of your pocket but this wallet has held up particularly wear with VERY MINIMAL light scuffing. Quality leather so I know I will have this wallet for a very long time! It has great card holding capacity as i currently have about 10 cards in it and it still has a pretty slim profile. The wallet itself is a very nice, natural looking wallet. The ease of pulling cards in and out definitely has made me a fan.
