These three brief novels deal with themes that obsessed Cervantes his whole life: madness, love, and the adventures of everyday people. They also have the Cervantine style: they are written with a direct, simple language, they use humor to ridicule social norms, and they all conclude with a moral. These three novels give us a portrait of 17th century Spanish society.
