Description: Translated in French for the first time, the four comedias (La Vie a Alger, Les Bagnes d'Alger, Le Vaillant Espagnol et La Grande Sultane Dona Catalina d'Oviedo) are inspired by Cervantes' own misadventures, from the battle of Lepanto to the siege of La Goulette (1571-1573), and by his stay in Algiers, where he was a captive between 1575 and 1580.
