Publisher Description

Cervantes se adjudica, con mucha razon, el credito de haber sido quien escribio las primeras novelas en lengua espanola en su serie de doce Novelas Ejemplares, llamadas asi, segun el mismo Cervantes en el prologo a ellas, por no hay ninguna de la que no se pueda sacar un ejemplo provechoso. De ellas se presentan en este audiolibro tres de las mas conocidas, una de ellas de una increible ironia, la historia de Rinconete y Cortadillo, una descripcion del hampa sevillana de su epoca. En la narracion sobre el Licenciado Vidriera nos encontramos con otro loco como Don Quijote, pero este no por obra de los libros de caballería sino por el amor rechazado, y que en su locura dice verdades amargas al mundo. Finalmente la historia del celoso extremeno cuenta la historia de un viejo hidalgo que por cuidar excesivamente a su joven mujer, lo que logra es perderlo todo.

The classic works of literature contained in each of these volumes represent each author's best and most famous writings. A wonderful introduction to world literature, this finely crafted and affordable series offers the works of these world-renowned authors to a wider audience. Includes Rinconete y Cortadillo, El Licenciado Vidriera, y el Celoso Extremeno.

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).
