Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547- 16 16) was a Spanish novelist, playwright and poet in the Renaissance.

Born in 1547 on September 29th, and died in Madrid on April 22nd, 2006. He is regarded as the greatest writer in Spanish literature. Critics call his novel Don Quixote the first modern novel in the history of literature and one of the treasures of world literature. His life experience is a typical Spanish adventure. He was born in/kloc-Spain in the 6th century, which was an exciting time. The Moors who believed in Islam were driven back to North Africa, and Spain was unified from region to religion. With the support of the Spanish court, Columbus discovered the new continent. Ocean exploration promoted the prosperity of colonialism, and the plunder of America stimulated the development of domestic industry and commerce. In some cities, capitalist relations of production began to sprout, and Spain had more than 1000 ships sailing around the world, becoming a powerful feudal empire that ruled Europe. However, Spain's prosperity was extremely short-lived. Philip II, the autocratic monarch, launched many failed wars abroad, which not only exhausted the assets of the national treasury, but also made Spain lose its position as a maritime hegemon. Cervantes likes literature very much. When he was in danger, selling literature was the only way for him to support his wife and children. He used literary language to advertise one businessman after another and one commodity after another. He wrote countless lyric poems and satirical poems, but most of them didn't arouse much response. He also wrote thirty or forty plays at the invitation of the theater, but it didn't achieve the expected success after being released. 1585, he published the pastoral novel Galatia (the first part). Although the author was very satisfied with it, it did not attract the attention of the literary world. Cervantes began to write Don Quixote in his fifties. Don Quixote is a valuable cultural heritage. The life experience of Don Quixote as a ranger in the book exposes the darkness of society, criticizes the tyranny of the church and reveals the sufferings of the people. Don Quixote and his servant Sancho are two typical images in western classical literature.

The first edition of Don Quixote was published on 1605, which immediately swept the country and was reprinted six times in a year. Although this novel failed to get Cervantes out of poverty, it won him immortal honor. The book's satire and merciless ridicule of the current disadvantages were dissatisfied and hated by feudal nobles and the Catholic Church. 16 14, someone published a fake sequel, which distorted and vilified the image of the hero of the novel at will from the standpoint of the church and the nobility, and maliciously slandered and attacked Cervantes himself. In order to resist the bad influence of fake books, Cervantes rushed to write the second part of Don Quixote, which was released in 16 15. In addition, in 16 13, he also published a collection of stories about punishing evil and promoting good, including thirteen excellent short stories, including tortuous love stories, descriptions of social customs and some philosophical discussions. The book describes the evils of feudal society and the poverty of the lower classes in Spain, affirms human nature and personal freedom, and angrily protests against social injustice. These realistic short stories full of humanistic thoughts occupy an important position in Spanish Renaissance literature. Don Quixote (pronounced Tá n ɡ Jehad), formerly known as Don Quixote de La Mancha, is a gentleman with fantastic ideas. In the preface, the author said: "This book is only a satire on knight literature [3]", aiming at "completely destroying the territory of knight literature". But in fact, the social significance of this work exceeds the author's subjective intention. In this work of nearly one million words, the whole Spanish society appeared in the 6th century and the early 7th century. About 700 characters, including dukes, duchesses, feudal landlords, monks, priests, soldiers, craftsmen, shepherds, farmers and men and women of different classes, sharply and comprehensively criticized the politics and laws of feudal Spain in this period.

Don Quixote, the hero of the work, is an immortal typical figure. According to the book, this thin, woebegone poor squire was fascinated by knight literature, and even rode on a thin old horse, Numa, found a rusty spear, put on a helmet with holes, and prepared to be a ranger to help the weak and the people. He hired Sancho Panza, a nearby farmer, as his entourage and rode behind him on a donkey. Don Quixote imagined a milkmaid in a neighboring village as his benefactor and named her Dursi Neya Tyre Toposo. So he went out looking for adventure as a knight without a formal title. He completely lost his sense of reality, fell into a rambling fantasy, and treated everything with idealism. So he made a lot of troubles, suffered a lot, and made a lot of jokes, but he was still stubborn. He regarded the country inn as a castle and the boss as a castellan, forcing the boss to make him a knight. The shopkeeper was so happy that he played a joke on him. He took the book of horse account as the Bible, hit him twice on the shoulder with the back of Don Quixote's knife, and then asked a shoemaker's daughter to help him hang the knife. The sealed knight Don Quixote walked out of the inn and took the spinning windmill as a giant. He rushed up to fight it, and he was black and blue all over. He took the sheep as an army and rushed to fight. The shepherd boy hit him in the face with a stone and broke his teeth. Sancho Panza corrected him again and again, but he never believed him. He also treated a barber as a soldier, gave him a head-on blow, and regarded the copper basin from victory as the famous Mann-Bourinot helmet. He treated a group of criminals as persecuted gentlemen, killed them and saved them. He asked them to go to the village to thank their sponsors, but they beat them badly. His friends tried many ways to get him home. In the second volume, he continued to take risks and suffered a lot, which made him sick. One of his friends, Samson carrasco, pretended to be a samurai and knocked him down, so he was punished to stop being a ranger for one year. Don Quixote did not repent until he died.
