The novel was written by Camilo José Cela. It was published in 1944 and deliberately connects itself with the earlier Lazarillo tradition.

It is presented as a continuation of the picaresque tradition associated with Lazarillo de Tormes. Cela uses that earlier work as a literary model rather than simply reproducing the anonymous sixteenth-century text.

The story uses a wandering protagonist in the picaresque tradition. That structure places the character in changing social situations and focuses on survival, movement, and encounters with different parts of society.
