«La fuerza de la sangre; El celoso extremeño» is a volume with two exemplary novels by Miguel de Cervantes, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback.
It brings together two of Cervantes's twelve exemplary novels. In «La fuerza de la sangre», the young Toledan woman Leocadia, after an assault, tries to get her aggressor to marry her to restore her honour. «El celoso extremeño» takes place in a closed house and is centred on a woman; in both, Cervantes reflects the life of his time.
First title in the Cátedra base collection. Includes introduction, notes and reading suggestions by María Teresa Mateu.
A way to start with Cervantes for readers who do not yet know his exemplary novels.
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (Alcalá de Henares, 1547 — Madrid, 1616) is the most iconic writer of Spanish literature and a cornerstone of world literature. A novelist, poet, playwright and soldier, he led an adventurous life before writing 'Don Quixote of La Mancha', regarded as the first modern novel and one of the most translated works in history.
