Book Synopsis



«Una biografía total de Miguel de Cervantes que [...] consigue llenar el vacío biográfico que otras semblanzas aparecidas recientemente no han conseguido ocupar». Emilio Maganto Pavón

En este imponente estudio, el catedrático Krzysztof Sliwa ha construido el edificio de la que es con toda seguridad la biografía crítica definitiva del autor de El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha. Valiéndose de documentos pertenecientes a Miguel de Cervantes y de una vastedad de textos que lo nombran, coetáneos y posteriores, Sliwa nos ofrece la posibilidad de acercarnos como nunca antes al más universal de nuestros escritores.

La presente obra cuida enmarca las circunstancias y los hechos de la vida de Cervantes en cuatro partes diferenciadas que, no obstante, conforman un todo. La primera se focaliza en las raíces de la familia y sus antepasados; la segunda, en sus familiares más directos, sus padres y hermanos; la tercera, en su vida propiamente dicha, y la cuarta y última, en los familiares de Catalina Palacios Salazar y Vozmediano, su esposa. En su conjunto indisociable, el volumen ofrece el vívido retrato de una época y de un hombre que redefinió la literatura para siempre.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"A complete biography of Miguel de Cervantes that... fills the biographical gap other recent profiles have not been able to meet." --Emilio Maganto Pavón

In this impressive study, professor Krzysztof Sliwa built the edification of what is surely the definite critical biography of the author of The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha. Drawing on documents that belonged to Miguel de Cervantes and a vast number of texts that mention him, both contemporary to him and subsequent, Sliwa offers a possibility to get closer than ever to the most universal of our writers.

The present work frames the circumstances and the life of Cervantes in four different sections that nevertheless make up a whole. The first part focuses on his family roots and his ancestors; the second part on his close family, his parents, and brothers; the third on his actual life, and the fourth and final part on his wife's family, Catalina Palacios Salazar y Vozmediano's relatives. As an indivisible whole, this volume offers a vivid portrait of a time and a man that redefined literature forever.
