Description
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was a late-16th to early 17th-century Spanish author who wrote plays, poetry, and fiction. Best known for his lengthy, satirical picaresque novel Don Quixote, Cervantes' subsequent fiction also demonstrates his literary skills, which include subtlety in characterization that enhances his satire, vividly descriptive language, and inventive plotting. Though his complex plots are engaging, it's also possible to become so absorbed in descriptions of the moment that the larger plot fades into the background.
