Rendered homeless by the arrest of his father and poverty of his mother, the boy Lazarillo has no choice but to go out and find masters to serve. Unfortunately, each of his masters is worse than the one before, and in each case Lazarillo is cast upon his own wits in order to survive.
Clever, hungry, and desperate, he always has a sharp eye for lessons on how to outwit the greedy and unscrupulous people who surround him. There is much of wit and humor in this little book, but the anonymous author obviously also intends to expose the brutal inequalities of society, especially toward children and women. Many of his arrows are aimed directly at the Church and its representatives, which explains why the author chose to remain anonymous, slyly publishing the book in three different cities simultaneously, and why the authorship of Lazarillo is still a mystery almost years later.

The priest starves Lazaro, but soon Lazaro gets hold of a key to the locked chest where the priest keeps a store of bread and Lazaro helps himself. When the priest notices that one of his loaves has gone missing, Lazaro is forced to become more clever. He begins eating the bread so that it looks like mice have gotten into the chest. Eventually the priest catches on to this trick as well, and Lazaro is sent on his way. Lazaro takes pity on the squire, sharing the food he earns through begging in the town.
When the squire is no longer able to pay his rent he abandons the house along with Lazaro. Lazaro works briefly for a friar before he moves on to another town where he meets a seller of indulgences who makes a living by convincing people to buy articles that he claims will pardon their sins.
The seller of indulgences agrees to take Lazaro as his servant, and Lazaro participates in a scheme that results in all the people of one town purchasing indulgences. Then Lazaro serves a tambourine painter briefly, followed by a chaplain for whom he leads a mule around town selling water. Lazaro keeps this job for several years and says little about it, but he is happy because it enables him to save money and provide for himself for the first time in his life.
After this he works briefly for a constable before finally finding a job as a town crier in Toledo, advertising wine to earn his money. While working as a town crier, the archbishop takes an interest in Lazaro and offers him one of his maids as a wife. Lazaro later confirms these rumors are true but he is happy to ignore them, as he and his wife receive some money from the Archbishop. The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes.
