Don Quijote. El curioso impertinente

Por Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Considerada una novela (en este caso una novela breve o un relato largo dentro de otra novela —Don Quijote de la Mancha—), Cervantes aplica su prosa barroca pero clara y llena de accidentes para contar la obsesión de Anselmo en probar que su esposa Camila le es fiel. La trama comienza in medias res, puesto que antes de que Anselmo, Camila y Lotario llegaran a ser «dos caballeros ricos y principales» y «una doncella principal y hermosa» han ocurrido muchos acontecimientos que no se narran. Como en los mejores cuentos, este inicio delata el interés por cautivar al lector.

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.
