Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the analysis of the picaresque fiction from a taxonomic point of view, offering a helping hand to researchers who find themselves lost in the numberless picaresque novels which have been written in almost five centuries. The classification of the picaresque novel is made according to extensive and restrictive definitions, having in view the fact a picaresque novel may belong to more than one narrative strategy or to different genres at the same time.
