The story of a man who lived between weapons and letters. During the reign of Felipe II, the young Miguel de Cervantes becomes part of the service of Italian Cardinal Acquaviva, who needs to take some lessons in Spanish. Cervantes will follow him to Rome, where he will go as a soldier against Turks, without stopping from writing during his journeys. / Durante el reinado de Felipe II, el joven Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra entra al servicio del cardenal italiano Acquaviva, que precisa tomar unas lecciones de español. Cervantes le seguirá hasta Roma, pero pronto sus pasos le harán ocupar una plaza de soldado en la compañía del capitán Diego de Urbina, embarcando en la galera Marquesa. El 7 de octubre de 1751 Cervantes toma parte en la célebre batalla de Lepanto, en la que resultará herido en su mano izquierda cuando un trozo de plomo le secciona un nervio. Posteriormente, el llamado Manco de Lepanto será hecho prisionero por una flotilla pirata, y su largo cautiverio en Argel supondrá una prueba de fortaleza que incluirá varios intentos de fuga, frustrados por la traición y el destino. Pero todas esas penalidades no harán sino forjar un carácter único: el de un escritor prodigioso, capaz de alumbrar la mejor novela de la literatura universal. Esta extraordinaria obra de Bruno Frank en torno a la figura del que fuera escritor, soldado y aventurero, es también la crónica fascinante de toda una época.
