About this ebook
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
Miguel de Cervantes was born on September 29, 1547, in Alcala de Henares, Spain. At twenty-three he enlisted in the Spanish militia and in 1571 fought against the Turks in the Battle of Lepanto, where a gunshot wound permanently crippled his left hand. He spent four more years at sea and then another five as a slave after being captured by Barbary pirates. Ransomed by his family, he returned to Madrid but his disability hampered him; it was in debtor's prison that he began to write Don Quixote. Cervantes wrote many other works, including poems and plays, but he remains best known as the author of Don Quixote. He died on April 23, 1616.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Despite being published over 400 years ago, I found Don Quixote to be an enjoyable read. While some of the descriptions and character dialogue may have been excessively detailed, (For goodness' sake man, occasionally leave out the kitchen sink!) I never found myself bored. There were even moments that made me laugh out loud. Overall, I appreciated Cervantes' commentary on the power of storytelling and the blurred lines between fact and fiction.
