3 Volume Set Novelas Exemplares De Miguel De Cervantes 1803 - Spanish

Complete set of 3 volumes of the Novelas Exemplares (Exemplary Novels) by De Miguel De Cervantes, published in 1803. Written in spanish. As per Wiki- The novellas are usually grouped into two series: those characterized by an idealized nature and those of a realistic nature. Those idealized in nature, which are the closest to the Italian models, are characterized by plots dealing with amorous entanglements, by improbable plots, by the presence of idealized characters and psychological development, and the low reflection of reality. They include: El amante liberal, Las dos doncellas, La española inglesa, La señora Cornelia and La fuerza de la sangre. These were the most popular of the novellas at the time. The realistic in nature cater to the descriptions of realistic characters and environments, with intentional criticism in many cases. The realistic in nature are the best-known stories today: Rinconete y Cortadillo, El licenciado Vidriera, La gitanilla, El casamiento engañoso (which leads directly into the fantasy El coloquio de los perros), and La ilustre fregona. However, the separation between the two groups is not sharp and elements of the idealistic may be found in some of the realistic novels. Now close to 220 years old these books are in decent condition, some binding breakdown/page separation but otherwise clean, pages still pliable, covers show old binding repairs at spines.
