Description

Classic Literature. Fiction. Short Stories. HTML: Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes was the creative tour de force behind one of the first modern European novels, Don Quixote. Several years later, his literary experiments resulted in another innovation: the first novellas ever written in Spanish. Modeled after a format that was popular among Italian writers during the period, these stories pair Cervantes' trademark wit with important moral lessons..

Cervantes says in the prologue, that he does not intend to preach moral values, but that he wants to give people an idea what to do with their spare time. For example reading a book.
