Two things combine to single out this book of tales as worthy of special attention. The tales were written six centuries ago, yet they are both interesting and instructive; and the life of the author reads like a fable.This man of royal blood was statesman, politician, and above all, warrior. He is, in fact, known as one of the most vigorous, turbulent, and dangerous barons of his time. Only during lulls between his great activities did he become author. He made writing his diversion, according to his own words, because he felt this to be more worthy of a gentleman than wasting his time at games.Yet, in these fifty pleasant stories, Don Juan Manuel has produced one of the highlights in Spanish literature, both as to content and as to style. This edition is intended to bring Don Juan into the libraries of those who enjoy the unusual when it is also good.

Para valorar el largo y dificil camino recorrido por la prosa medieval espanola, no se puede dejar de lado el jalon marcado a comienzos del siglo XIV por Don Juan Manuel. En El Conde Lucanor, por primera vez, una poderosa voluntad de estilo y una personalidad nada comun imprimen un sello original a un material de muy diverso origen. Los ejemplos de intencion moralizadora cobran en la pluma de su autor una claridad estructural, una sencillez y una factura artistica tal que han pervivido como modelo de esfuerzo por dominar la expresion literaria en prosa, la cual se encontraba en estado embrionario.
