About the author
Born in Alcalá de Henares in 1547, Miguel de Cervantes became the most celebrated writer in Spanish literature and one of the central figures in world fiction. His life was anything but quiet: he served as a soldier, was wounded at the Battle of Lepanto, and later spent years in captivity in Algiers after being seized by corsairs.
After returning to Spain, he worked in a series of difficult jobs and struggled financially for much of his life. Those hardships fed a body of writing that includes plays, poems, short fiction, and prose works, but his lasting fame rests above all on Don Quixote, published in two parts in 1605 and 1615, a book often described as the first modern novel.
Cervantes died in Madrid in 1616. No authenticated portrait of him is known, but an often reproduced likeness attributed to Juan de Jáuregui is commonly associated with his name.
