Description: Cervantes's Exemplary Stories, first published in 1613, are judged by most critics to be his greatest work after Don Quixote; they are also the first novelas to be written in the Spanish languge. Cervantes himself suggested that they contain some hidden mystery, but the modern reader will probably be most struck with their variety, their rich detail and the mastery of their language, and by the tolerance and gentle irony of Cervantes's attitude to life.
Notes: Translation of Novelas ejemplares.
