"The Vnfortunate Traveller, or The Life of Jack Wilton" by Thomas Nashe is a picaresque novel published in 1594. Jack Wilton, an adventurous English page, swindles his way through military camps before embarking on a dangerous journey across sixteenth-century Europe. He witnesses massacres, befriends literary figures, travels with the Earl of Surrey, and plunges into Italy's intrigues with his companion Diamante.

rife with hypocrisy, violence, and cultural corruption before ultimately departing Italy's shadowy depths. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
