Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (/sərˈvæntiːz/; Spanish: [miˈɣel de θerˈβantes saˈβeðɾa]; 29 September 1547 (assumed) – 22 April 1616), often known mononymously as Cervantes, was a Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright.His magnum opus, Don Quixote, considered to be the first modern European novel, is a classic of Western literature, and is regarded amongst the best works of fiction ever written. His influence on the Spanish language has been so great that the language is often called la lengua de Cervantes ("the language of Cervantes"). He was dubbed El Príncipe de los Ingenios ("The Prince of Wits").In 1569, Cervantes moved to Rome where he worked as chamber assistant of a cardinal. Cervantes then enlisted as a soldier in a Spanish Navy infantry regiment and continued his military life until 1575, when he was captured by Algerian corsairs. After 5 years of captivity he was released by his captors on ransom from his parents and the Trinitarians, a Catholic religious order, and he subsequently returned to his family in Madrid.In 1585, Cervantes published a pastoral novel named La Galatea. He worked as a purchasing agent for the Spanish Armada, and later as a tax collector. In 1597, discrepancies in his accounts of three years previous landed him in the Crown Jail of Seville. In 1605, he was in Valladolid when the immediate success of the first part of his Don Quixote, published in Madrid, signaled his return to the literary world. In 1607, he settled in Madrid, where he lived and worked until his death. During the last 9 years of his life, Cervantes solidified his reputation as a writer; he published the Novelas ejemplares (Exemplary Novels) in 1613, the Journey to Parnassus (Viaje al Parnaso) in 1614, and in 1615, the Ocho comedias y ocho entremeses and the second part of Don Quixote. Carlos Fuentes noted that, "Cervantes leaves the page open where the reader knows himself read and the author written." Full Name | Miguel de Cervantes |

# | Fact |
---|---|
1 | First wrote the expression "I've got bigger fish to fry" in Don Quixote. |
2 | Lived in poverty on a farm. |
3 | Lost the use of his left hand in the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. |
4 | "Don Quixote" underwent a rather drastic revision just a few months after it was first published: Sancho Panza suddenly refers to his donkey being stolen, though no scene of it being stolen was included in the book. The second edition inserts this passage into a scene a few chapters earlier, and therefore Cervantes had to rewrite the scenes that follow so as to take out the donkey. |
5 | His novel "Don Quixote" features a character named Cardenio, who tells the story of how a good friend stole a woman he loved. This was later the basis for a lost play by William Shakespeare entitled The History of Cardenio. |
6 | Ironically, Cervantes was descended directly from the very knights-errant whose adventures he so successfully spoofs in "Don Quixote.". |
7 | Cervantes was a contemporary of William Shakespeare, but Spain and England were bitter enemies at the time. The defeat of the Spanish armada by the British took place during Cervantes' lifetime. |
8 | One of the characters of the show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (1968) was named after Cervantes' creation - a donkey named Don Quixote, who lives in a place called Someplace Else. |
9 | His last work, which Cervantes himself believed to be his finest, was "The Travails of Persiles and Segismunda", published posthumously in 1617, but history has not shared Cervantes' judgment of that work. It has rarely been translated into English. |
10 | Some of his "Exemplary Stories", a collection of novelettes all designed to teach a moral lesson, have been recently published in two separate paperback translations. There are twelve "Exemplary Stories" in all, but the complete set of stories has rarely been issued in English. One of them, "La Gitanilla" (The Little Gypsy Girl) has been filmed three times, and several of them have been presented on Spanish television. |
11 | It is sometimes written that all but two of Cervantes' plays are lost; however, this has proven not to be the case. At least eight of his plays have survived. |
12 | English translations of "Don Quixote" have frequently been published at intervals. There was only one in the 1600s, but there were at least three during the 1700s, three or four more between 1881 and 1899, three between 1949 and 1957, and there have since been three more published between 1993 and 2003. |
13 | His one-act "Eight Interludes", published in 1615, were written, unlike his full-length plays, mostly in prose, and mostly in the colloquial style which was his alone. They were considered unworthy of his abilities for a fairly long time, but have lately come to be highly regarded by critics. Cervantes was told by the playhouse manager that they did not measure up to the works of other playwrights of the era, which made Cervantes quite angry; but optimistic about their chances, he published them so that at least the reading public might know them. They have appeared, like the "Exemplary Stories", in several English translations, but have never gained as wide a public as "Don Quixote". In recent years, some of them have even been performed in English. |
14 | One daughter: Isabel de Saavedra, born 1584 to Cervantes' mistress, actress Ana Franca de Rojas. His marriage was childless. |
15 | His actual date of birth is unknown, but it is generally assumed it was on September 30. |
16 | The full title of his masterwork, "Don Quixote," is "El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha ("The Ingenious Nobleman Don Quijote of La Mancha"). |
