Cervantes - Hardcover
by Jean Canavaggio (Author), Jean Conavaggio (Author), Joseph R. Jones (Translator)
A study of the life of Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote. It traces his life as a soldier, as a tax collector, his time as a prisoner of war of the Turks, and finally the publication of Don Quixote in 1605.
Back Jacket
The life of Cervantes, author of Don Quixote, has always posed a puzzle to scholars: a tantalizing patchwork of myth, fact, and conjecture. We know that he was a soldier and later a tax collector; that he was maimed in battle at Lepanto and held prisoner of war by the Turks; that he was thrown in jail, and later excommunicated; that he vanished from view for years at a time; and that at the age of 57, in 1605, he published the masterpiece that was both the first modern novel and the first best seller.
