| Summary |
"Lázaro: casi novela" by Jacinto Octavio Picón is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around strong themes of social class and ambition, following the life of a young man named Lázaro as he navigates his path from humble beginnings to aspirations of higher status in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, primarily influenced by his uncle, a bishop. The opening portion introduces Lázaro as he is sent from his rural home to live with his uncle, the bishop, in Madrid. Initially, Lázaro is portrayed as a hopeful and bright boy who is excited about the opportunities that await him. As he adjusts to life at the episcopal palace, he is educated and sheltered, yet he begins to grapple with the contradictions between his idealistic values and the reality around him. The narrative captures Lázaro's internal conflicts, particularly his struggle between earthly desires and spiritual ambitions, setting the stage for his complex journey in a society marked by hypocrisy and moral dilemmas.
