The book chronicles the life and adventures of Lazarillo, a young boy from a poor background who becomes a servant to various masters, each revealing the harsh realities of society.

The opening of "The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes" introduces us to Lazarillo's origins, explaining that he was born near the Tormes River to a miller and his wife, a widow who struggles to make ends meet after her husband's tragic demise. As a child, he witnesses the struggles of poverty and is eventually separated from his mother when she entrusts him to a blind man as a servant. The initial chapters delve into Lazarillo's early life, outlining his encounters with the cruel blind man who takes advantage of him, showcasing a blend of humor and sadness as Lazarillo learns to navigate the hardships of life.
