MIGUEL DE CERVANTES;WALTER K. KELLY
Exemplary Novels ("Novelas ejemplares") is a series of novellas (short stories) that were written by the great Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes between 1590 and 1612, and printed in 1613. The book followed the publication of the first part of Don Quixote, for which Cervantes is best known for. The novellas have a moralistic intention to them and are usually grouped into two series: those characterized by an idealized nature and those of a realistic nature. Cervantes boasted in his foreword to have been the first to write novellas in the Spanish language.
