西班牙的古典文学巨制《堂吉诃德》在我国早已家喻户晓,它的作者就是米盖尔·德·塞万提斯。塞万提斯1547年生于西班牙的小城阿尔卡拉-德埃纳雷斯,从小过着穷困、漂泊不定的生活。虽然现有史料无法证明他受过高深教育,但他勤奋好学,又自小酷爱文学,能利用一切机会阅读拉丁经典著作,为以后的创作打下了坚实的基础。 Spain’s classical literary giant Don Quixote has long been a household name in China and its author is Miguel de Cervantes. Cervantes was born in 1547 in the small town of Alcala de Henares in Spain. He lived a life of poverty and uncertainty. Although the existing historical data cannot prove that he is highly educated, he is diligent and studious, he loves literature since childhood, and can use every opportunity to read Latin classics, laying a solid foundation for future creation.
