Miguel de Cervantes [1547-1616] Page at Spirit of America Bookstore

After an early life full of adventures, Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra [1547-1616] settled down in Madrid and began writing on the side;
his first novel, "La Galatea" was published in 1585, his second was published twenty years later: "Don Quixote, Part I" in 1605 and "Part II" in 1615;
"The Trials of Persiles and Sigismunda" was published posthumously in 1617. "Don Quixote" is widely regarded as a founding work of Western literature,
often labeled 'the first modern novel', and many scholars & critics consider it to be the best literary work ever written.

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was born in Madrid, Spain in 1547 to a family once proud and influential but lately fallen on hard times. His father, a poor barber-surgeon, wandered up and down Spain in search of work. Educated as a child by the Jesuits in Seville, Miguel grew up to follow the career of a professional soldier. He was wounded at Lepanto in 1571, captured and imprisoned by the Turks in 1575, and was finally rescued by the Trinitarian friars in 1580.

On his return to Spain, Miguel found his family more impoverished than before. Supporting his mother, two sisters, and an illegitimate daughter, he settled down while attempting a literary career; he had hopes of becoming a successful playwright, but just then the youthful Lope de Vega [1562-1635] entered triumphantly to transform the Spanish theatre by his genius. Miguel married Catalina de Palacios y Salazar Vozmediano in 1585, and also published "La Galatea", a pastoral romance, in that same year. But publication did not bring him an escape from poverty, and he was forced to become a roving commissary for the Spanish armada, a venture that lasted for fifteen years and led to bankruptcy and jail.

Although he never knew prosperity, Cervantes did gain a measure of fame during his lifetime, and Don Quixote and Sancho Panza were known all over the world. Part I of "Don Quixote" was published in 1605; in 1613, his "Exemplary Novels" appeared, and these picaresque tales of romantic adventure gained immediate popularity. "Journey To Parnassas", a satirical review of his fellow Spanish poets, appeared in 1614, and Part II of "Don Quixote" in 1615; "Eight Plays and Eight Interludes" was also published in 1615. The novel "The Trials of Persiles and Sigismunda" was published posthumously in 1617.

Miguel de Cervantes died on 23 April 1616, the same day as the death of William Shakespeare - his English contemporary and his only peer.

'Don Quixote'
the official titles of Miguel de Cervantes's two-part novel "Don Quixote" are:
first volume: "El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quixote de La Mancha" [1605] which translates as 'The Ingenious Nobleman . . ."
second volume: "Segunda Parte del Ingenioso Cavallero {sic} Don Quixote de La Mancha" [1615] which translates as 'The Ingenious Gentleman . . ."

"Don Quixote" is the biggest-selling book of fiction ever written; it has sold more than 500 million copies.
