Synopsis "El Periquillo Sarniento (in Spanish)"

El periquillo sarniento (1816) significa el comienzo de la tradición novelística en México y está considerada como la primera novela hispanoamericana. La figura de su autor, José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi, se sitúa en la prolongación del pensamiento ilustrado en América, con una instancia activa en el proceso de la Independencia.
Con esta base ideológica se planteó Lizardi escribir una novela moralizante. Para ello aprovechó un molde picaresco que recibió de los antecedentes españoles e hispanoamericanos pero que actualizó a su conveniencia para hacerlo apto a nuevas posibilidades que respondieran a una necesidad que él consideraba básica para los americanos: plantear el balance de la colonización española, separar el cuerpo social de sus países, para afirmar la necesidad de la independencia.

José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi (Mexico City, 1776–1827), known as "El Pensador Mexicano", was a prominent writer, journalist, and precursor of the novel in Latin America. His most famous work, El Periquillo Sarniento (1816), is considered the first novel written in Latin America. Other notable works include La Quijotita y su prima (1818), Noches tristes y día alegre (1818) and Don Catrín de la Fachenda (published posthumously in 1832). These novels, framed in the picaresque and costumbrista genre, combine social criticism with a moralizing and educational approach

In addition to his literary work, Fernández de Lizardi was a fervent defender of freedom of expression and actively participated in the Mexican independence movement. In 1812, he founded the newspaper El Pensador Mexicano, from which he openly criticized the viceregal government, earning him censorship and imprisonment. His commitment to social justice and popular education established him as a key figure in the transition from New Spain to independent Mexico.
