«Novelas ejemplares» is the collection of twelve short novels by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, published by Diario El País, S.A. in paperback (587 pages, in Spanish).
Cervantes published these twelve short narratives in 1613, portraying Spanish Golden Age society with didactic and moral intent. Among them stand out «Rinconete y Cortadillo», with its picaresque view of Seville's underworld; «El coloquio de los perros», a critique of social corruption; and «La gitanilla», where love overcomes differences. Works largely written before Don Quixote, they saw the light when the success of the first part allowed their author to print them.
Volume from the Clásicos Españoles collection by El País, with a 20x12 cm format and paperback binding.
Recommended for readers of classic Spanish literature and for those approaching Cervantes's short fiction for the first time.
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was a Spanish writer widely regarded as the greatest writer in the Spanish language and one of the world's pre-eminent novelists. 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".
