Published in Madrid in 1613, these two exemplary novels by Miguel de Cervantes represent a culmination in his literary career and a milestone in modern literature. In "Rinconete y Cortadillo", Cervantes explores the picaresque genre, presenting a portrait of the sevillian underworld of the 16th century and creating the famous «patio de Monipodio». On the other hand, "El amante liberal" is a byzantine story of captives, where entanglement and pretense highlight the learning and freedom of choice of its characters.
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.
