About Miguel de Cervantes
Spanish writer
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was a Spanish writer of the 16th and early 17th centuries, and one of the best-known figures in Spanish literature. He is best known for Don Quixote, his two-part novel that is often described as the first modern novel. Cervantes is remembered chiefly for that book, which gave lasting shape to the novel form and has been widely praised by other writers as a central work of world literature. His reputation rests above all on his fiction, especially the wit, range, and enduring influence of Don Quixote.
