Description: Originally published in four separate volumes, this publication sees all 12 Novelas Ejemplares as a single volume for the first time in English. Each story has an individual introduction, the original Spanish text with facing English translation and notes.
Brief description: Jonathan Thacker is King Alfonso XIII Professor of Spanish Studies at the University of Oxford.
Review Quotes: The collection is not only the presentation of a classic (and perhaps unfairly overlooked) work by Cervantes, but with its introductory material, it is also a valuable bridge to the student who might know or have heard of little about Cervantes other than the universally "well known" but usually not-yet-read monument, Don Quixote...This revised and complete edition is a significant contribution.Ife and Thacker and their colleagues are to be commended.--William H.
