Aprovecha las convergencias conceptuales entre picaresca y maquiavelismo observadas principalmente por J.A. Maravall, para aplicar de manera sistemática y metafórica el metodo maquiavelico de Virtud y Fortuna a la interpretacion de los textos picarescos. De esta manera, consigue una innovadora clasificacion de la picaresca española en torno a ese nucleo, segun la picaresca se vuelque mas hacia la especulacion en torno a conceptos paralelos al de la fortuna, como la fatalidad, la providencia divina y lo diabolico, o segun se concentre, por el contrario, en aspectos meramente pragmaticos basados en la burla, que es la variante de la virtud segun es concebida por la picaresca. El libro sugiere que la burla picaresca, si bien sigue formulas literarias que se remontan de Maquiavelo a Bocaccio y que hallan en el mercantilismo moderno nuevo caldo de cultivo, aparece en gran medida sobrecargada por los conflictos ideologicos y teologicos aireados en Trento. La picaresca española es, por tanto, en su mayor parte, una literatura de especulacion.

Molina nos ofrece una vision de la eternidad de la vida y la creacion humana y una revision, no sin dosis de humor, de nuestras actitudes. Continua Diez de Revenga: OSe detendra ellector en este libro en muchos pasajes cervantinos, del Quijote y de otras obras suyas. Mucho hay que contar y reflexionar sobre lo que sucede en su inmenso mundo, y todo tiene su significado y su trascendencia. Detengamonos en el escrutinio y destruccion de la biblioteca de Alonso Quijano y en los libros que contenia.(,) Eran complicados los años en que vivio Cervantes (,), los años en los que surge la picaresca (,). Nada era lo que parecia y la ilusion confundia la realidad con la ficcion. Las palabra
