He is considered to be the best Spanish writers of all times and one of the most important writers of history together with Shakespeare.
He was born in Alcalá de Henares and he had a hard life, first as a soldier where he lost the movement of his left arm, then as a citizen as he had economic problems and was in jail several times.
He wrote "Don Quixote of La Mancha" , his masterwork
The first part, titled The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha, was published at  the beginning of 1605.
In 1617 the two parts were published together in Barcelona. And since then don Quijote became one of the most edited books in the world and, with the time, translated to all the languages with literary tradition. It is the most outstanding work of Spanish literature and one of the most important in universal literature.
In 2002, this literary work was selected as the best of history in a voting which 100 writers of 54 nationalities participated.
Don Quijote is consdered the first modern novel of the history. Spain is recognised in all the world thanks to this character created by Cervantes.
Don Quixote was a poor hidalgo who became mad for reading too many chivalry novels and he thinks he is an errant knight (knights were very very old fashioned at that time)who has to find adventures and the situations he lives  together  with his squire Sancho (a poor peasant who is aware of his friend's madness), are sometimes very, very funny and sometimes a bit tragic.

Cervantes died on 23 April 1616 a few months after its publication ( the same day as William
Shakespeare).
