The Life Of Cervantes Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Life of Cervantes Part of his immortal story. The old fire burned, his being was renewed, his pen ran swiftly, and Within a year the book was finished. He was now approaching seventy, and in little more than a twelvemonth all that could die of him was dead. Omit the years 1603 and 16143 from Cervantes' life and there is left but a clever writer of short stories; include those years and we have the most imaginative prose-writer of all time.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Life of Miguel De Cervantes The Life of Cervantes here presented, as one of the series of "Great Writers," is designed to correspond in scale and in character with the literary biographies familiar under that name to the British public. There have been many Lives of Cervantes, of which I have myself written two. The ampler biography prefixed to my edition of Don Quixote (1888) was intended especially to serve as an introduction to my translation of Cervantes' great work, in accordance with my theory that the best commentary on the book is the life of the author. It was part of a large scheme which embraced a complete and fully-equipped edition of Don Quixote, brought down to the present state of knowledge, on a scale worthy of the book as one of the world's great classics. That edition was so limited in the number of copies printed as scarcely to deserve the name of publication. The present Life of Cervantes is an entirely new work, built out of the materials which I had collected for my larger edition.
