Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (29 September 1547, an assumed date, to 22 April 1616) was a Spanish writer. Cervantes is widely regarded as the greatest writer in Spanish and one of the leading novelists in world literature. The two-part Don Quixote is the best known work and is considered the first modern novel. Poverty and obscurity marked much of Cervantes's life, and many early works are lost.
