About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was born in Alcalá de Henares, Spain in 1547. Little is known of his early life, other than that he was one of seven children and grew up in poverty. The course of his adulthood is fascinating, at various stages he was a fugitive, a soldier, a tax collector, held captive by pirates, sold as a slave, and imprisoned by the Spanish government. He finally settled into a more sedate life in Madrid shortly after the publication of the first part of his masterpiece, Don Quixote, in 1605. The second part was published in 1615, and Cervantes’ literary output continued until his death in April 1616.

One of fiction's greatest comic heroes and his infamous sidekick are given rare three-dimensionality in this vastly entertaining performance by Andrew Sachs. His impeccable characterizations breathe life into each character; this is a true tour de force brimming with wry, irrepressible humor and grand, elegant speeches. Cervantes's trenchant wit shines through what could have been a rote performance but is indeed audio art. To say Sachs inhabits each role in an understatement; his Quixote could be a standard to be followed and a fine acting lesson for aspiring voice actors.
