La biografía de Cervantes está plagada de mitos, de leyendas, de lugares comunes. Así desde el siglo XVIII y así también en nuestros días. Muchos de estos mitos, leyendas y lugares comunes nacieron de la falta de datos y documentos en sus orígenes, de la necesidad de imponer una determinada imagen sobre la vida de Cervantes para defender la genialidad y la supremacía de su Don Quijote. En esta última entrega de su excelente biografía cervantina, el catedrático José Manuel Lucía Megías, rescata al hombre Miguel de Cervantes en los últimos años de su vida, los que van desde la publicación de la primera parte del Quijote, en el Valladolid de 1604, hasta los primeros años del éxito del Persiles, en el Madrid de 1617. Años cruciales en la vida de Cervantes, que se convierte, año tras año, en una vida de papel, una vida en que verá la luz un programa literario único en los Siglos de Oro, que ha quedado ensombrecido por el éxito posterior del Quijote. Lucía Megías, en esta original indagación, ofrece una nueva mirada sobre el gran genio literario que fue Cervantes, un genio más allá de sus aventuras quijotescas, un genio que fue capaz de reivindicarse como narrador y como poeta alegórico y dramático; un autor que gozó del éxito de sus lectores, como lo muestran las continuas reediciones de las Novelas ejemplares y del Persiles en contraste con el fracaso editorial de la segunda parte del Quijote. ¿Un inédito Miguel de Cervantes? Más bien, el Cervantes de siempre, pero ahora estudiado con todas sus luces y sombras, con su capacidad de trascender la literatura de su tiempo.

Cervantes’ Architectures is the first book dedicated to architecture in Cervantes’ prose fiction. At a time when a pandemic is sweeping the world, this book reflects on the danger outside by concentrating on the role of enclosed structures as places where humans may feel safe, or as sites of beauty and harmony that provide solace. At the same time, a number of the architectures in Cervantes trigger dread and claustrophobia as they display a kind of shapelessness and a haunting aura that blends with the narrative. This volume invites readers to discover hundreds of edifices that Cervantes built with the pen. Their variety is astounding. The narrators and characters in these novels tell of castles, fortifications, inns, mills, prisons, palaces, towers, and villas which appear in their routes or in their conversations, and which welcome them, amaze them, or entrap them. Cervantes may describe actual buildings such as the Pantheon in Rome, or he may imagine structures that metamorphose before our eyes, as we come to view one architecture within another, and within another, creating an abyss of space. They deeply affect the characters as they feel enclosed, liberated, or suspended or as they look upon such structures with dread, relief, or admiration. Cervantes' Architectures sheds light on how places and spaces are perceived through words and how impossible structures find support, paradoxically, in the literary architecture of the work.

Benito Perez Galdos (1843-1920) was a prolific Spanish realist novelist, who through a lack of good translations is virtually unknown outside Spain, though he has been compared as second only to Cervantes in Spanish literature and whose work is considered to give the deepest, truest, most comprehensive realities of Spain. Dona Perfecta (1876) was Galdos' first novel delving into the social world of middle-class Spain in the 19th century; a young liberal arrives in an imaginary cathedral city, with the intention of marrying his cousin. However the church interferes and obstructs the marriage, leading to a tragic clash between the traditional, provincial outlook and modern, liberal outlook of Madrid. Graham Whittaker's edition with Spanish text, English translation and substantial introduction aims to make this important novel widely available in English and the introduction and notes provide a comprehensive overview of the novel and Galdos' work.
