ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONNow, with Alfaguara Clásicos, discover the Cid. The First Lord, the quintessential hero of Spanish literature adapted and novelized for young people.   El Cid Campeador, one of the most universal Spanish figures, is a legendary character written about by poets, and also a warrior -the best of his time- which reflect the characteristics of medieval knights. In this volume its two sides are exposed: mythical and historical, literary fantasy and reality.   Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar’s true story narrates, in a thorough and very entertaining way, the life of a low-ranking nobleman of Castile. The Cid. The First Lord is an abridged and modernized version of Spanish literature’s first epic poem. The text offers a broad vision of this great hero of the Middle Ages.   Unforgettable classics to enjoy, share, and let your imagination wander.
