Dust jacket likewise fine condition; not price clipped. * From the rear jacket flap, ""Marlowe's Cervantes is a towering creation; flesh and blood and living legend, actor in and creator of the events in his own fantastical life story. He not only survives war, prison, torture and poverty, he survives death itself, growing inexorably toward the writing of ""Don Quixote,"" which would bring both him and his character immortal fame. Profligate, ribald, crammed with coincidences rich, strange, and true,""The Death and Life of Miguel de Cervantes"" gloriously suspends disbelief and triumphantly transcends time, immersing the reader in a tale whose storytelling power enchants and transforms.""
