For many speakers of the English language, the only experience you might have with literature from Spain centers on one man's quest to slay windmills while aided by a loyal helper. This story, of course, is that of Don Quixote. However, Spanish literature is rich and rewarding for those who choose to dig a little deeper. If you are interested in exploring the creative endeavors of novelists, poets, and playwrights from this Iberian nation, working with a Spanish literature tutor can be a great idea.

Much in the way that Shakespeare's presence dominates English literature, so too does Miguel de Cervantes's presence permeate Spanish literature - they even wrote at roughly the same time. It's hard to fully understand the impact of his famous work, Don Quixote. Some have called it the first modern novel while others simply call it the greatest novel ever written. Regardless of the hype that sometimes surrounds it, a Spanish literature tutor can help you fully appreciate the depth and wonder of the novel. But there are far more wonderful writers from this nation, including the likes of the classic Federico Garcia Lorca and the modern wunderkind Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Spanish literature tutoring can help you understand the background and context that informed the work of these writers, giving you a glimpse into the cultural and political situations that they experienced. This can allow you to more fully understand the viewpoints from which they were writing.
