La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes y de sus fortunas y adversidades, Annotated Critical Edition
"A lovely new edition of a canonical text especially well suited for the undergraduate reader. The introductory discussions of the Picaresque tradition and authorship are enhanced by excellent summaries of the historical, cultural, and philosophical context of the work as well as content summaries of each Tratado, maps, diagrams, and images.... Gasta's comprehension questions and guides for analysis provide points of departure for discussion at either the high-intermediate or advanced level, depending on the focus of the course. This edition ofLazarillois a jewel and should find itself in many an undergraduate Spanish literature course." --Deborah Dougherty, Alma College"The text is clear, easy to follow, and well arranged for classroom use. Some strong points are the introductory section that provide historical and sociologic contexts. Also, the opportunities for questions and analyses at the end of each 'tratado' are very good." --Linda Sariego, Neumann University"This edition is visually appealing, set at an excellent price point for students, and has excellent supplementary materials to aid the student in understanding the rich history and vocabulary incorporated in the text." --Scott Infanger, University of Alabama
