Decoded Cervantes: the extraordinary life of the author of "Don Quixote"
14.99 €
In the fate of the greatest writer Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra - the creator of the first modern novel in literature and his ever-living protagonists Don Quixote and Sancho Panza - there are still many mysterious episodes, one of which was a sword duel on the territory of the royal palace in Madrid, which abruptly changed the entire life of the future author of Don Quixote, forcing him to secretly flee Spain, and then as a marine to participate in the epochal battle of Lepanto in 1571. In this bloody battle with the Turkish fleet Cervantes shows amazing heroism, receives several severe gunshot wounds, one of which permanently deprives him of the use of his left arm. But Cervantes returns to the ranks and falls into captivity to the Algerian pirates, where he will spend five years...
The book by Doctor of Historical Sciences T.F. Dmitrichev for the first time in all details restores the unusually interesting and difficult life of Cervantes, which was reflected in many works of the genius writer, but especially voluminous and brightly captured on the pages of the novel "The Cunning Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha", recognized in the world as "the best book of all times and peoples", and in our country included in the school curriculum.
