Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, de gevierde Spaanse romanschrijver, wordt geprezen als de maker van de eerste moderne roman. Zijn werken duiken in de tijdloze vragen van de menselijke natuur met diepgaand inzicht en speelse ironie. Cervantes verweeft meesterlijk realiteit met fantasie, komedie met tragedie, en creëert zo rijke en onvergetelijke literaire ervaringen. Zijn stijl, gekenmerkt door scherpe humor en een diep begrip van menselijke zwakheden, resoneert nog steeds bij lezers over de hele wereld.

More popular in their day than DON QUIXOTE, Cervantes's EXEMPLARY STORIES (1613) surprise, challenge and delight. This new translation captures the full vigor of Cervantes's wit and makes available two rarely printed gems, "The Illustrious Kitchen Maid" and "The Power of Blood".
Come ride along with Don Quixote and his trusty squire Sancho on a quixotic quest for knightly glory! This adaptation combines some of the best adventures from Miguel de Cervantes' masterpiece, including the courtly love quadrangle of Cardenio and company, the mischievously meta-aware Duke and Duchess, the ruthless Pasamonte Gang, and of course, those notorious windmills. This three-act adventure intricately weaves heart and humor as it builds to a surprising, action-packed climax at a roadside inn. A mixture of linguistic styles-from dramatic chivalric prose to casual slang-helps drive the comedy and makes the play feel fresh and accessible to modern audiences.
Journey to Parnassus is a remarkable collection of annotated original documents in Spanish from the early 17th century that provide a window into the musical activities of the Hispanic communities in the Philippines, Venezuela, and Mexico. This bilingual volume includes extensive contextual and comparative commentaries and is an invaluable resource for scholars of musicology and history alike.
In a 2002 survey, of the world's leading writers (including Doris Lessing, Salman Rushdie, Nadine Gordimer, Wole Soyinka, Seamus Heaney, Carlos Fuentes and Norman Mailer), representing nearly every continent, selected Don Quixote as "the most meaningful book of all time." Nigerian-born Ben Okri said, "If there is one novel you should read before you die, it is Don Quixote, it has the most wonderful and elaborated story, yet it is simple." Beyond such consistent contemporary accolades, the author's influence is so deeply rooted in Spanish Literature that one cannot write in Spanish without having Cervantes? influence in mind. Don Quixote de la Mancha is in fact the first modern novel (Volume one was published in 1605, and Volume II, was published ten years later, in 1615) and holds the honor of being published literary work in the world after the bible. So as one can imagine it's influence today stretches far beyond Spanish having significantly influenced the works of Nabokov to Borges, Fielding to Garcia Marquez.
