«Los trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda» is the posthumous novel by Miguel de Cervantes, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (784 pages, in Spanish).
Cervantes conceived this work as his great serious novel, in contrast to the success of Don Quixote. It narrates the journey of Periandro and Auristela, two lovers who pose as siblings while on pilgrimage to Rome; along the way they encounter other characters whose stories and examples enrich the plot and leave the reader with lessons.
Edition by Carlos Romero Muñoz, fifth revised and updated edition, number 1427 in the Letras Hispánicas collection.
Intended for adult readers interested in classic Spanish narrative and in Cervantes's literary output beyond Don Quixote.
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.
