Description
Cervantes Street is a masterpiece of historical fiction that recreates the epic life of Miguel de Cervantes. During his youth, the impoverished poet was forced into exile after nearly killing a man in a duel; later, he was wounded in battle and sold into slavery when his ship was captured by pirates. Yet somehow Cervantes escaped and settled in Spain, where he wrote Don Quixote.
Having taken the bare bones from Cervantes's background, Jaime Manrique breathes vivid life into Cervantes in this dramatic and suspenseful interpretation of one of modern literature's most brilliant writers.
