Miguel de Cervantes
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a Spanish writer regarded by many as the greatest writer in Spanish and one of the best novelists in the world. He is best known for his novel Don Quixote, a work often regarded as the first modern novel and one of the pinnacle of world literature. Much of his life was spent in poverty and obscurity, many of its details contested or unknown, and most of his surviving works were produced in the three years before his death. . However, his literary influence and contributions are reflected in the fact that Spanish is often referred to as "the language of Cervantes". In 1569, Cervantes was forced to leave Spain and move to Rome, where he worked in the house of a cardinal. In 1570, he joined a Spanish naval infantry regiment and was seriously wounded at the Battle of Lepanto in October 1571
