Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Great Writers: Cervantes, Scott, Milton, Virgil, Montaigne, Shakespere Cervantes, noble by blood, was born poor. An infancy at Alcalda Henares, boyhood at Valladolid, youth at Madrid; from such early years he emerges into the half lights of biography in the two worlds of arms and letters. He was certainly the poet of his school, for his master praised and printed the verse of his "dear and beloved pupil;" and why should we not believe he was that same Miguel de Cervantes, page at court, who for ruffing there in an affair of gallantry was condemned to ten years exile and to have his right hand cut off, and escaped to hiding? ´Tis as easy as deer-stealing. But whether as a cavalier in flight, or as a protege more peacefully picked up, Cervantes left Madrid at twenty-one in the train of the Papal Ambassador, Monsignor Acquaviva, a fortunate Italian youth two years his senior and a patron of art and letters; and, as a gentleman in attendance upon him, travelled to Rome.
