Overview

Don Quijote de la Mancha es para muchos la mejor novela jamás escrita en lengua castellana y responsable, a su vez, de un giro en la prosa europea. Desmitificó burlonamente la novela caballeresca haciendo del protagonista de su relato un pobre hidalgo que enloquece con la lectura hasta creerse él mismo un caballero andante. Sin embargo, el contenido de las dos partes de que se componen las aventuras de Don Quijote incluye también reflexiones literarias, sociales y filosóficas que Cervantes introduce en los breves episodios que protagonizan el caballero y su fiel escudero, Sancho Panza. El autor teje, entonces, una dialéctica entre dos formas distintas de pensar: una idealista e imaginativa y otra más práctica y terrenal, que se revuelven hasta que el lector mismo acaba por confundir realidad y ficción. Esta edición incluye la introducción, las actividades y las anotaciones del catedrático de literatura española de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Florencio Sevilla Arroyo, uno de los mayores expertos de la obra cervantina de nuestro país.

About the Author

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was a Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright. His novel Don Quixote is often considered his magnum opus, as well as the first modern novel.
It is assumed that Miguel de Cervantes was born in Alcalá de Henares. His father was Rodrigo de Cervantes, a surgeon of cordoban descent. Little is known of his mother Leonor de Cortinas, except that she was a native of Arganda del Rey.
In 1569, Cervantes moved to Italy, where he served as a valet to Giulio Acquaviva, a wealthy priest who was elevated to cardinal the next year. By then, Cervantes had enlisted as a soldier in a Spanish Navy infantry regiment and continued his military life until 1575, when he was captured by Algerian corsairs. He was then released on ransom from his captors by his parents and the Trinitarians, a Catholic religious order. He subsequently returned to his family in Madrid.
