El Lazarillo de Tormes y poemas

Again El Lazarillo. Alive, spontaneous as romance, intuitive, nourished by experience and full of the rhythm of the spoken language. El Lazarillo has the Franciscan simplicity of a medieval church, -with the fields and the sun on the horizon of Castile as a background-, and illuminating the expression of the most sincere feeling: hunger, if hunger was a feeling, which for Lázaro, it is.

I wanted to produce El Lazarillo, which was released thirty years ago, because you always ask me to. When I first did it I thought if I spun it for at least 25 years maybe I would understand and do it right. I have already spun it for thirty years. And I want to remember Fernando Fernán Gómez, the great teacher who adapted it. My tribute of loyalty, admiration, love and respect is to always to return to El Lazarillo´s source.
