Book excerpt: 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 think that Cer vantes mocked the great' ideals of chivalry. He loved truth, uprightness and courage - his own career preves this -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.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: James Montgomery's new translation of Don Quixote is the fourth already in the twenty-first century, and it stands with the best of them. It pays particular attention to what may be the hardest aspect of Cervantes's novel to render into English: the humorous passages, particularly those that feature a comic and original use of language. Cervantes would be proud. --Howard Mancing, Professor of Spanish, Purdue University and Vice President, Cervantes Society of America
