Study Guide to Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes by Intelligent Education Pdf

A comprehensive study guide offering in-depth explanation, essay, and test prep for Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quixote, one of the most widely read texts from Spanish literature. As a novel of chivalry from Spain in the mid-sixteenth century, Don Quixote is a by-product of Renaissance idealism and the trend to narrate the extraordinary adventures of knights-errant. Moreover, critics have argued about the satirical nature of the book, wondering if its intent was to parody chivalrous novels from the years before.

Summary and Analysis by Blake Moore Pdf

This is a summary/study guide of the book. The story follows the adventures of a noble (hidalgo) named Alonso Quixano who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to become a knight-errant (caballero andante), reviving chivalry and serving his country, under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story.

Don Quixote consists of two parts; the first was published in 1605 and the second in 1615. It is the first modern novel and the first polyphonic novel (that is, with several voices). Its influence has been such that critics have come to say that every subsequent novel rewrites Don Quixote or contains it implicitly. Around the world, the anniversaries of its publication are celebrated with almost religious fervor. Several passages were written in jail since Miguel de Cervantes spent some time there due to tax problems. In 1989 a copy was sold for $ 1.5 million. It was the first edition in excellent condition and of which there are only a couple of copies.

Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra Pdf

Obsessed with tales of gallant knights, Don Quixote, a middle-aged man from La Mancha, decides to take his own adventure. Donning rusty armor and riding upon an old horse, he sets off to change the world and save his invented damsel in distress in the name of chivalry. Unfortunately, Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza are met with a host of ill-intentioned characters, and the pair often find themselves the butt of a joke rather than chivalrous saviors. This renowned tragic comedy, written by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, was first published in Spain in two parts in 1605 and 1615. This is an unabridged version of John Ormsby's English translation from 1885.
