The Oran manuscript, with the supposed vital testimony of Cervantes it becomes a vein to pose a very concrete scenario of the life of the universal writer Miguel de Cervantes. Based on this fictitious discovery of the Algerian city, Álvaro Espina complements an exciting biography, insofar as it offers us the awakening of the great writer, his passage through youth and the trace that could be impregnated in him from those years of learning and discovery .

Being able to even ramble on about everything that happened to the writer in the years prior to his wonderful literary work is fascinating only in its approach. and being able to freely associate what his youthful spirit forged to be reflected in his lyrics or to outline with what spirit he was able to face his military participation in Lepanto becomes a stimulating exercise in historical imagination.

We therefore enter a leisurely story in which we can go through the ideas that could haunt the mind of the writer, in the middle of a scene of curious palace intrigues. Because Cervantes dedicated three years of his life to work as secretary in the Éboli house. As a person of trust and tutor to the daughter of princes, the writer moves around the house with hardly any reservations, and knows the most fascinating interiors of the house.

But the work, mainly, is that drawing of the youth of the greatest writer in history. The first loves and disappointments, his first approaches to writing as a source of expression for his youthful soul. A little gem that brings us closer to the one who a little later would write the most glorious pages of world literature.
