«La gitanilla» is the exemplary novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, published by Alba in paperback (125 pages, in Spanish).
Preciosa, raised among gypsies, stands out for her beauty and her talent for singing and dancing. The gentleman Juan de Cárcamo falls in love with her and adopts the gypsy life as Andrés Caballero. Amid adventures and a surprising outcome, Cervantes reflects on freedom, honour and identity, with an idealised vision of the gypsy world of the time.
Work included in the Novelas ejemplares, originally published in 1613. This Alba edition, from 1987, belongs to the Literatura universal collection (no. 52) and includes a bibliography.
For readers interested in the classics of Spanish literature and in the short narrative of the Golden Age.

He is best known for his two-part novel Don Quixote, a work considered to be the first modern novel. Don Quixote has been labelled by many well-known authors as the "best book of all time" and the "best and most central work in world literature".
