About the author
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
4,886 books3,568 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.

Este libro contiene en si las novelas:
- Rinconete y Cortadillo
- El licenciado Vidriera
- La ilustre fregona
- El casamiento engañoso
- El coloquio de los perros
Las novelas reflejan claramente los conceptos de engaño e ilusión/realidad. Es una lectura obligatoria para aquellas personas que sean capaces de extraer las conclusiones adecuadas (difícil hoy día) o tener acceso a un intérprete de esta obra.
Rinconete y Cortadillo narra la història de dos ladrones que entran en un gremio de ladrones y donde ellos mismos notan los ingenuas que son las personas que pertenecen a ese grupo organizado.
El licenciado Vidriera trata de un licenciado (que no necesariamente es un inteligente) que dice haberse convertido en vidrio, de tal manera que se hace muy popular mientras dice sandeces (o no) pero es ignorado al recuperar la cordura.
La ilustre fregona muestra como la clase alta es capaz de intentar fundirse por interés (por ejemplo, por "amor") en la clase baja, pero siempre vuelve a subir a su sitio.
El casamiento engañoso es una conversación en un hospital sobre el engaño mutuo entre dos casados. Durante la novela se dice que, desde el hospital, nuestro protagonista, escucha a dos perros hablar, lo que da introducción a la ultima historia.
El coloquio de los perros es, como bien indica el título, el dialogo entre los perros Cipion y Barganza donde venganza explica su vivencia durante el transcurso con distintos amos. Los amos son, a cada cual más surrealistas.

Cervantes me hace sentir el poder de las palabras, comprender muchas cosas del habla sin realmente estudiarlas. Por otro lado, las historias que nos muestra no siempre tienen un punto mas allá del chisme. No mi clase de chisme.
