    " All in all, I think I liked it. It was a long slog and the 900 pages are basically one joke but Part II was more entertaining and had more amusing scenarios with less pontificating. I am happy to have read it and equally happy to be finished. "

    " Don't believe Harold Bloom about Edith Grossman's translation, Penguin's edition by John Rutherford, with intro by Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria is much better. I should have judged the translation by its book cover. "

About Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547–1616), novelist, playwright, and poet, was born in Spain of an ancient but impoverished family. After studying in Madrid, he became a soldier and was wounded in battle. He was taken by pirates in 1575, put in prison at Algiers, and was ransomed five years later. He spent the remainder of his life struggling to earn a livelihood from literature and humble government employment. His first attempt at fiction was a pastoral novel, La Galatea (1585), which was followed by his masterpiece, The Adventures of Don Quixote de la Mancha (1605).
