Short Description
"Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra[b] (/sɜːrˈvæntiːz/ sur-VAN-teez, Spanish: [miˈɣel de θeɾˈβantes saaˈβeðɾa]; 29 September 1547 (assumed) – 22 April 1616 NS) was a Spanish writer who is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the Spanish language and one of the world´s pre-eminent novelists. His novel Don Quixote has been translated into over 140 languages and dialects; it is, after the Bible, the most-translated book in the world.

Don Quixote, a classic of Western literature, is sometimes considered both the first modern novel and the best work of fiction ever written.[10] Cervantes´ influence on the Spanish language has been so great that the language is often called la lengua de Cervantes ("the language of Cervantes").[11] He has also been dubbed El príncipe de los ingenios ("The Prince of Wits").[12]" - (en.wikipedia.org 09.11.2019)
