Discover the fascinating life of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, the author of Don Quixote, in this biography written by Santiago Muñoz Machado. The book narrates Cervantes' life from fragments of autobiography that the writer left in his works, complemented by research and findings of numerous authors over more than a century and a half. It analyzes how the search for the perfect edition of Don Quixote became an intellectual competition and how Cervantes and his creations were transformed into universal myths. More than half of the book is dedicated to exploring the sources of the Prince of Ingenuity, revealing the author's inclinations towards popular literature, politics, society of his time, and couple relationships.
