MIGUEL DE CERVANTES SAAVEDRA, página 6 de 92

Cervantes publica sus Novelas ejemplares en 1613. En ellas muestra su talento para la novela corta, ya presente en las insertadas en la primera parte del Quijote (1605). En el Prólogo de estas Novelas ejemplares confiesa su orgullo por ser el primero que habia novelado en lengua castellana, pues es consciente de haber conseguido dotar a la novella italiana de dinamismo, verosimilitud y amplitud de temas y estructuras entre otras cosas. La seleccion de novelas realizada en este tomo Rinconete y Cortadillo, El licenciado Vidriera y La ilustre fregona obedece a su mayor cercania a la novela picaresca, aunque la critica social que efectua Cervantes viene teñida de cierto optimismo ante la vida.

This carefully crafted ebook: "Don Quixote (illustrated & annotated) - The Unabridged Classic Ormsby" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. It is the version based on unabridged classic Ormsby translation, fully illustrated by Gustave Dore. Don Quixote, fully titled The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes, published in two volumes, in 1605 and 1615. It follows the adventures of Alonso Quijano, an hidalgo who reads so many chivalric novels that he decides to set out to revive chivalry, under the name Don Quixote. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthly wit in dealing with Don Quixotes rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote is considered the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra ( 1547 (assumed) 22 April 1616) 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. John Ormsby (18291895) was a nineteenth-century British translator. He is most famous for his 1885 English translation of Miguel de Cervantes Don Quixote de la Mancha, perhaps the most scholarly and accurate English translation of the novel up to that time. Ormsbys translation has seen more editions than any other nineteenth-century English version of the novel, having been included in the Heritage Book Club series of great novels, and in the famous Great Books of the Western World set.

Con las Novelas ejemplares cervantinas la narrativa breve a la italiana cobró carta de naturaleza en España, al tiempo que adquiría unos perfiles propios y alcanzaba su más alta cota literaria.

Entre 1590 y 1612 Cervantes escribió una serie de novelas cortas que después acabaría reuniendo en 1613, publicadas por Juan de la Cuesta en la colección de las Novelas ejemplares, dada la gran acogida que obtuvo con la primera parte del Don Quijote. En un principio recibieron el nombre de Novelas ejemplares de honestísimo entretenimiento. Se piensa que Cervantes introdujo en estas novelas algunas variaciones con propósitos morales, sociales y estéticos (de ahí el nombre de «ejemplares»).
