Trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda.
Inhalt:
〈i〉Los trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda, historia septentrional〈/i〉 (1617) is Miguel de Cervante's last major work. Virtually ignored for the past four hundred years and overshadowed by the acclaim accorded Don Quixote, it is due a revival. As indicated by this new English title, 〈i〉The Perils of Persiles and Sigismunda, a Northern Saga〈/i〉, this challenging saga-like fiction follows an attractive young prince and princess who undertake a perilous pilgrimage by sea and on land from their North Atlantic islands to Rome.〈br〉〈br〉This new translation by William Thomas Little takes full account of recent scholars' ground-breaking research and their new readings. It also includes a selected bibliography, a contextualizing introduction, and footnotes on the text that clarify for contemporary readers cultural issues that were readily known to seventeenth-century readers in Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, and England.
