Segunda parte de Lazarillo de Tormes (Juan de Luna, 1620)

The 1620 Segunda parte de Lazarillo de Tormes was written by Juan de Luna. It is a sequel to the anonymous Lazarillo de Tormes.

The narrator is Lázaro, the low-born central figure from the earlier work. He continues to describe his life in the first person through episodes involving dependence, deception, and social survival.

It returns to the same protagonist and continues the picaresque first-person format. Like the earlier book, it uses Lázaro's encounters to expose hypocrisy and the instability of social status.

Picaresque fiction follows a resourceful person of low social rank through episodic adventures and conflicts. In Juan de Luna's 1620 sequel, Lázaro's survival depends on wit, adaptation, and dealings with powerful or dishonest people.
