	The Cervantes Project
		Miguel de Cervantes, born in Alcalá de Henares in 1547, was the son of a surgeon who presented himself as a nobleman, although Cervantes's mother seems to have been a descendant of Jewish converts to Christianity.
		Certain recent biographers--such as Andrés Trapiello (Las vidas de Cervantes, Barcelona, 1993) and, not without a hint of scandal, Fernando Arrabal (Un esclavo llamado Cervantes, Paris and Madrid, 1996)--have revived the tradition of romanticized biographies in which the biographer's personality obliterates that of the writer whose life is the supposed subject.

	Miguel de Cervantes
		Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Spanish novelist, playwright and poet, was born at Alcalá de Henares in 1547.
		Cervantes became the slave of a Greek renegade named Dali Mami, and, as the letters found on him were taken to prove that he was a man of importance in a position to pay a high ransom, he was put under special surveillance.
		Isabel de Saavedra was stated to be a spinster when arrested at Valladolid in June 1605; the settlement of her marriage with Luis de Molina in 1608 describes her as the widow of Diego Sanz, as the mother of a daughter eight months old, and as owning house-property of some value.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
		Of Cervantes it may be most truly said that the narrative of his life is no less fraught with interest than the most exciting novel of adventure.
		Cervantes next turned his attention to the drama, hoping to derive an income from that source, but the plays which he composed failed to achieve their purpose.
		The countless novels of knightly daring which had followed in the wake of the very worthy "Amadis de Gaula" had obtained an unwonted vogue and had created an air of false idealism which tended to leave Spain unduly in the rear of advancing civilization, for, cherishing them, she clung too closely to the medieval past.

		Cervantes was born at Alcalá de Henares, Spain.

	AskOxford: Miguel de Cervantes
		Cervantes has given literature one of its greatest comic figures in Don Quixote, that "muddle-headed fool with frequent lucid intervals".
		Born in Alcalá de Henares, near Madrid, in September 1547, he was the third child of an impecunious surgeon with pretensions to nobility, who restlessly wandered from one city to another in an unsuccessful attempt to improve his lot.
		Cervantes himself was also to become a wanderer, dogged by poverty, an unhappy marriage, and a failure to achieve his professional ambitions until the very last years of his life.

	Miguel de Cervantes
		You may say: Miguel de Cervantes is a courageous man, not a pale rider ; a man driving a horse across a country named imagination, an impressive writer you need to fly away in your own dreams, because he embodies the essential man, the eternal quest for beauty and free spirit...
		Cervantes was a soldier (1569) ; he lost his left hand in a battle, Lepante, in 1571 ; he was a slave in Algeria (1575) during five years, and last but not the least, he became a great writer when he went back in Spain in 1580.
		He went in jail too, was married, and served the King Philippe II as a civil servant.
