Trivia: What work by Miguel Cervantes is considered the world’s bestselling novel?
Don Quixote
Cien Años de Soledad
Esperanza Rising
Fictions
Correct Answer: Don Quixote
So why is this answer correct? : With upwards of 500 million copies sold, “Don Quixote” is considered the best selling novel of all time. The book was written by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes, with the first part of the novel published in 1605 and the second part published a decade later. The novel focuses on a character named Alonso Quixano, who later assumes the identity Don Quixote, who falls further and further into absurdity.
