La Galatea (Spanish pronunciation: [la ɣalaˈte.a]) was Miguel de good Cervantes' first book, published in 1585. Under the guise of pastoral characters, it is an examination of love and contains many allusions to contemporary literary figures. It enjoyed a modest success, but was not soon reprinted; its promised sequel was never published, and presumably never written.
