Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, Vol. 1 of 4 IT was with considerable reluctance that I aban doued in favor of the present undertaking what had long been a favorite project, that Of a new edition of Shelton's Don Quixote, which has now become a somewhat scarce book. There are some - and I confess myself to be one - for whom Shelton's racy Old version, with all its defects, has a Charm that no modern translation, however skilful or correct, could possess. Shelton had the inestimable advantage of belonging to the same generation as Cervantes Don Quixote had to him a Vitality that only a contempo rary could feel it cost him no dramatic effort to see things as Cervantes saw them; there is no anach ronism in his language; he put the Spanish of Cer vantes into the English of Shakespeare. Shakespeare himself most likely knew the book; he may have carried it home with him in his saddle-bags to Strat ford on one of his last journeys, and under the mul berry tree at New Place joined hands with a kindred genius in its pages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, Vol. 2 But there is something which I cannot so easily pass over; he is pleased to upbraid me with my age; as if it had been in my power to stop the career of Time. Then he tells me of the loss of one of my hands, as if that maim had been got in a quarrel in some tavern, and not upon the most memorable occasion that either past or present ages have beheld, and which, perhaps, futurity will never parallel. If my wounds do not redound to my honour in the thoughts of some of those that look upon them, they will at least secure me the esteem of those that know how they were gotten. A soldier makes a nobler figure as he lies dead in battle, than safe in flight and I am so far from being ashamed of the loss of my hand, that were it possible to recall the same opportunity, I should think my wounds but a small price for sharing in that prodigious action. The scars in a soldier's face and breast are the stars that by a laudable imitation guide others to the port of honour and glory. Besides, it is not the grey hairs, but the understanding of a man, that may be said to write; and years are wont to improve the latter.
