World-renowned as the author of <i>Don Quixote, </i> the "Spanish Shakespeare" led an adventurous and fruitful life that encompassed widely disparate roles--spy, lover, soldier, hostage, tax collector, poet, playwright, and, most notably, creator of the first European novel.<br>This biography is based on new original research, and incorporates previously unpublished material on Cervantes' long period of captivity in Algiers; also, his involvement with piracy in the Mediterranean and with espionage and the Spanish Armada; and his work as an agent of the Spanish government. Containing significant details never before available in English, it is an important contribution to the understanding of a unique literary figure.
