La Galatea

La Galatea was Cervantes' first published book, in 1585. Under the guise of pastoral characters, it is an examination of love and contains many allusions to contemporary literary figures. It enjoyed a modest success, but was not soon reprinted. It is not a work that is easy for modern readers to enjoy.
