About the author
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
4,885 books3,566 followersMiguel de Cervantes y Cortinas, later 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.
In Esquivias (Province of Toledo), on 12 December 1584, he married the much younger Catalina de Salazar y Palacios (Toledo, Esquivias –, 31 October 1626), daughter of Fernando de Salazar y Vozmediano and Catalina de Palacios. Her uncle Alonso de Quesada y Salazar is said to have inspired the character of Don Quixote. During the next 20 years Cervantes led a nomadic existence, working as a purchasing agent for the Spanish Armada and as a tax collector. He suffered a bankruptcy and was imprisoned at least twice (1597 and 1602) for irregularities in his accounts. Between 1596 and 1600, he lived primarily in Seville. In 1606, Cervantes settled in Madrid, where he remained for the rest of his life.
Cervantes died in Madrid on April 23, 1616.

Когда я брала в руки «Дон Кихота», ожидала сухую классику, которую «надо» знать. Но оказалось, что это удивительно живое и смешное произведение. Дон Кихот со своей наивной верой в рыцарские идеалы напомнил мне о том, как важно не терять мечту, даже если весь мир крутит пальцем у виска. А Санчо Панса — настоящий голос здравого смысла, иногда смешной, иногда мудрый, но всегда рядом.
Книга читается не только как сатира на старые рыцарские романы, но и как философская притча о нас самих. Ведь мы все немного Дон Кихоты, когда верим в лучшее, и немного Санчо, когда стараемся твердо стоять на земле.
Совет тем, кто только собирается читать: не пугайтесь объёма. Лучше идти медленно, наслаждаясь юмором, диалогами и меткими наблюдениями. И обязательно помечайте цитаты — они до сих пор звучат актуально.

The first 200 pages were absolute delight, so enjoyable, funny and entertaining. There was a moment that I thought this book would be one of my all time favorites. And then... what in the name of the Great Leveler. The actions kept on repeating and in the end we just got nowhere.

Изданието щеше да си заслужава парите, ако не бъкаше от правописни грешки!
