Novelas ejemplares

Under the title Exemplary Novels, Cervantes brings together twelve short novels of a didactic and moralizing nature. Through a combination of realism, satire, and idealism, their plots present a broad portrait of Spanish society during the Golden Age: love put to the test, young people who are not what they seem, rogues, amorous deceptions, dogs that speak of men's vices... Cervantes creates a mosaic of characters and narrative devices that consolidated the modern novel in Spanish.
