Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was a Spanish writer widely regarded as one of the greatest novelists in Western literature. He was born in 29 September 1547 in Alcalá de Henares, Spain, and died in 22 April 1616 in Madrid. Cervantes is best known for his masterpiece "Don Quixote," published in two parts in 1605 and 1615.
"Don Quixote" is considered one of the most important works of fiction ever written. It tells the story of a middle-aged man named Alonso Quixano who becomes obsessed with chivalric romances and decides to become a knight-errant himself, taking on the name Don Quixote. Accompanied by his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, Don Quixote embarks on a series of adventures that often result in humorous and satirical encounters with the world around him.
Cervantes's influence on literature is immense, and "Don Quixote" is often considered one of the earliest novels and a foundational text of modern Western literature. Cervantes's writing style, characterized by a blend of realism, satire, and psychological depth, has had a lasting impact on subsequent generations of writers.
