Episode description
Held as a Moorish slave for five years, Cervantes was submitted to almost daily tortures. But even the horrors of slavery could not dull his sense of humor, as evinced by his most witty and amusing novel. (Volume 14, Harvard Classics)
Cervantes ransomed from slavery, Sept. 19, 1580.
