324: folkfest för folk som inte kan bete sig som folk.
efter en vecka med sol, bad och vin återvände jag till civilisationen i fredags. då blev det folkets park och debaser där vi betedde oss allt annat än civiliserat.
Relating the adventures of a rogue adventurer as he drifts from place to place and from one social milieu to another in his effort to survive. Unlike the idealistic knight-errant hero, the picaro is a cynical and amoral rascal who, if given half a chance, would rather live by his wits than by honourable work. The picaro wanders about and has adventures among people from all social classes and professions, often just barely escaping punishment for his own lying, cheating, and stealing. He is a casteless outsider who feels inwardly unrestrained by prevailing social codes and mores, and he conforms outwardly to them only when it serves his own ends. The picaro's narrative becomes in effect an ironic or satirical survey of the hypocrisies and corruptions of society, while also offering the reader a rich mine of observations concerning people in low or humble walks of life.
