Gil Blas: Santillanalaisen elämänvaiheet by Alain René Le Sage

"Gil Blas: Santillanalaisen elämänvaiheet" by Alain René Le Sage is a picaresque novel published between 1715 and 1735. Born into poverty in Spain, young Gil Blas sets out for university but quickly finds himself entangled with robbers and thrust into servitude. As a valet, he navigates the worlds of rogues, nobles, clergy, and eventually the royal court itself. Through quick wit and adaptability, Gil observes every level of society—from the disreputable to the distinguished—on his journey toward fortune and respectability.
