Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (Alcalá de Henares, 5 September 29, 1547-Madrid, April 22, 1616) was a Spanish soldier, novelist, poet and dramatist.
He is considered the greatest figure in Spanish literature and is universally known for having written The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha (commonly known as Don Quixote), which many critics have described as the first modern novel and one of the best works of the universal literature, besides being the most edited and translated book in history, only surpassed by the Bible. It has been given the nickname of "Prince of Ingenios".
