Miguel de Cervantes
Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616) was a Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright whose 'Don Quixote' is widely considered the first modern novel and one of the greatest works of fiction ever written. His tale of a delusional knight errant and his pragmatic squire created the template for all subsequent novelistic fiction.
