“Hilekkarlık Roman” türü XVI-XVII. Yüzyıllarda İspanya’da meydana gelmiş ve çok kısa zaman içerisinde bütün Batı Avrupa’ya, daha sonra ise Latin Amerikası’na yayılmıştır. Şunu da belirtmek gerekir ki, bu tür roman tarzı döneminde Avrupa’da hala klasik şiir sanatı, edebiyat usulleri vardı ve bütün bunlar yazarı çevredeki gerçekliği tam anlatmak için zorlamıyordu.“İspanyol Edebiyatı’nın Milli Türü” olarak “Hilekarlık Poman’ın” edibi usulleri Gürcü edebiyat bilimindense Batı bilim dünyasında daha iyi araştırılmıştır. Araştırmalarda zorluk olarak yine de anılan edebiyat türünün oluşumu (folklorik-evsanevi, edebi); yenilikçi,  Pikaro’nun edebi karakteri ve pomansal çelişkinin meseleleri ( topluma karşı “Küçük adam”); “Hilekarlık Romanın” tarihi ve edebi değerleri,  son iki asır içinde bü tür romanın gelişme süreçleri, gelenekler ve bazı bir yazarın eserlerinin incelenmesi gibi konula ön plana gelmektedir.  Araştırmacıların “Hilekarlık Romanın” gelişim sürecine dair henüz net cevapları yoktur. Folklor-evsanevisel kaynak olarak düzenbaşlar, Fransız saçmalıkları ve İtalyan pstoraliler, edebi kaynak olarak ise küçürek öyküler, antik ve maceracı-günlik romanlar kabul edilmektedir.

The literary genre of picaresque was founded in the Middle Ages in Spain in XVI – XVII centuries. The term genero picarescocomes from the Spanish el picaro (naughty, cheater and swindler), and in different literature, it functions together with national substitutes: in Georgian literature – (Taghlituri romani), in Russian - плутовской роман, in Ukrainian - шахрайській or крутійській роман, in German – shelmenroman, in English - romance of roguery etc. The definition of picaresque comprises not only the scenic form of the novel; there is a story-picaresque or a novel-picaresque that found their place in the tradition of the world literature. According to the tradition, a picaresque tale or a picaresque romance tells us about the hero – picaro`s detailed biography (from his birth to his “enthronement”), that`s why the rich life, historical and geographical materials are given in these forms of the genre, and accordingly, it is considerably big. As for the picaresque novel and picaresque story, they represent the “fragments” from the extensive biographical story, one or several episodes, and as a rule, contain the description of the adventure of the picaresque hero.   The genre, whose name is a “picaresque novel” was founded in the Middle Ages in Spain in XVI-XVII centuries, though very soon, it was successfully spread in the West Europe, went beyond the ocean borders and reached Latin America. It should be taken into consideration that the classic poetics was still operating in the epoch of the picaresque novel, the literary law, which did not oblige the author of the literary works to depict the reality, to create true pictures of the surrounding reality.   The picaresque, as a literary law of the “national Spanish genre” is well-studied in the scientific circles of the west, but we cannot say the same about the Georgian literary studies. The questions of the genesis of the genre (folk – mythological and literary), innovative literary character of picaro and novel conflict (“little man” versus the society), historical and literary values of the picaresque novel, transformation questions of the genre model for the last two centuries remain still problematic, and also the question of the study of genre traditions in the works of some writers.
