literature
Miguel de Cervantes publishes the Novelas ejemplares . It is a collection of twelve short stories . The collection became a great success and over the years was published in countless editions and translated into numerous languages. Cervantes sees himself as the first to use the genre of the novella in Spanish literature. In his foreword he emphasizes that, in contrast to his novellas, the other "novelas" widespread in Spain are only translations and imitations of foreign models. The exemplary quality of his novellas is given in two ways. On the one hand, it consists in being exemplary in the moral sense and, on the other hand, being exemplary in relation to literary form can be assumed. However, Cervantes emphasizes in his preface that he is less concerned with preaching a certain moral than with making his empty hours interesting for the reader. Entertainment and moral instruction are both expressed in the exemplary novellas .
