Los trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda is the last novel by Miguel de Cervantes, published posthumously in 1617. The work narrates the eventful journey of the Nordic princes Persiles and Sigismunda to Rome, who adopt the identities of Periandro and Auristela to flee from Prince Magsimino. Cervantes uses the classic scheme of the Byzantine novel, but subverts it to create what he himself considered his best work. This edition of Penguin Clásicos includes an introduction, notes and appendices by Isaías Lerner and Isabel Lozano-Renieblas, experts in the work of Cervantes.
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.
