Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was a Spanish writer who is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the Spanish language and one of the world’s pre-eminent novelists.  His major work, Don Quixote, is considered to be the first modern novel.  It is the most edited and translated book in literature history, just behind The Bible.
