Excerpt from Adventures of Don Quixote De La Mancha Loving reader, thou wilt believe me, I trust, without an oath, when I tell thee it was my earnest desire that this off spring of my brain should be as beautiful, ingenious, and sprightly as it is possible to imagine but, alas! I have not been able to control that order in nature's works whereby all things produce their like and, therefore, what could be ex pected from a mind sterile and uncultivated like mine, but a dry, meagre, fantastical thing, full of strange conceits, and that might well be engendered in a prison - the dreadful abode of care, where nothing is heard but sounds of wretchednessl Leisure, an agreeable residence, pleasant fields, serene skies, murmuring streams, and tranquillity of mind - by these the most barren muse may become fruitful, and produce that which will delight and astonish the world.

Adventures of Don Quixote (Classic Reprint) by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra Pdf

Excerpt from Adventures of Don Quixote To appreciate Don Quixote, we have no need for lengthy introductions. To understand him, read, and appreciation will come. Cervantes wished to, reveal in their true light, the farcical, extravagant, nonsensical Libros ale Caballeria (books on knight-errantry), which put forth a false ideal, ignoring the true chivalry of a true knight, and by this false ideal did great harm in Spain. The result was Don Quixote, which is at the same time a novel, a satire, a history and a picture of Spanish life. Do not thinkthat Cer vantes mocked the great' ideals of chivalry. He loved truth, uprightness and courage - his own career provesw tihs - but he wished to Show that valour, generosity, hope and justice were the bases of chivalric life. Don Quixote has been thought to be mad, but if mad ness consists in going through the world seeking to combat ignorance, cruelty, superstition and roguery, we must confess that he was not sane, and saw life in a mirage of the vicious books on chivalry. Sancho Panza is a very human personage. He is a peasant, ignorant but shrewd, who accompanies a master keen to fight injustice, knavery, and to pro tect the poor and the humble, but who, with a greater knowledge of mankind, tries to protect him from those self-seekers who might impose upon his good nature and his eagerness to help the oppressed.

Adventures of Don Quixote de la Mancha, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra Pdf

Excerpt from Adventures of Don Quixote De La Mancha, Vol. 1 Yesterday they gave me extreme unction, and to-day I write this letter. M y time is short; my sufl'erings increase, hope fades; and with all this to deplore, I am tain existence from a wish that I have to retain life a little longer, and to stay the progress of my disease, till I can approach to kiss the feet of your excellency. Perhaps the joy of seeing you well and in Spain again, would be so great that it would restore me to health. But if it is decreed that I should lay down my life, why then let heaven' 8 will be accomplished. May your excellency be made acquainted with this wish of mine, and know that you had in me a slave so desirous of serving, that he would even come from beyond the grave to evince his attachment. I rejoice at the return of your excellency; I rejoice to see you everywhere successfully com. Mand: and I rej01ce still more that my hopes are accomplished, established on the fame of your virtues.

That Imaginative Gentleman Don Quijote De La Mancha (Classic Reprint) by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra Pdf

Excerpt from That Imaginative Gentleman Don Quijote De La Mancha In the prologue Cervantes speaks of this hook as 'the tale of a poor, shrivelled, whimsical son, teeming with all manner of thoughts never entertained by another, even as one engendered in a prison, where every discomfort has its seat and every mournful sound its habitation.' Hence sprang and flourished a tradition that the book Don Quijote was at least begun, if not largely written, in confinement. And it is possible that portions of the first part were composed in the Seville jail, where trustworthy, though none too definite, evidence places Cervantes for a portion of the year 1602. But it is not at all likely that the opening chapters were so written, since a small library must have been at hand for their composition. The first book to come down from the shelf was a treatise by Antonio de Guevara, entitled Contempt of Court and Praise of Country Life, where in the seventh chapter Cervantes found written: 'O happy he that dwelleth in the country! since for him suffice a lance behind the door, a horse in the stable, a shield in the hall.' This sentence forms part of the opening of Don Quijote; also from this treatise were derived suggestions as to the knight's diet and dress, the matter of the pruning-hook, together with his fondness for the chase and for debating with the village-priest. The fairly unusual word Quijote (our cuish, or thigh-piece) was probably suggested by its presence (in an emphatic position) in a passage (which for another reason we are sure Cervantes read) dealing with this same Guevara, where the hope is expressed that thigh-pieces (quijotes) may again come into use. Now that he has described the diet and dress, the house and habits of his hero, our author comes to the central idea of his story: such a country-gentleman becoming obsessed with reading books of chivalry and determining himself to become a knight-errant for the amelioration of the world.
