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.

Download or read book The History of Don Quixote Classic Reprint written by Miguel de Cervantes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-08 with total page 910 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Don Quixote In one scene a young man determines to get food at any risk for his mistress. He penetrates into the enemy's camp, receives his death wound, but is able to crawl back and give the girl the bread saturated with his blood. In another a starving Child sucks blood instead of milk from the breast of its starving mother; and a poor wretch, who has once endured the agonies of death, is brought back again to life by a magician. No doubt such scenes tend to excite some compassion for suffering, but this feeling is overwhelmed by the excessive passion of hate which is awakened against the enemies who caused all this. Unquestionably', if (as it is asserted) this play was performed during the siege of Saragosa, it must have kindled a great patriotic enthusiasm. But the effects of such representations were not always so good. The mimic sufferings of the stage prepared a nation to witness with pleasure the more terrible realities of the auto-dafe'. In the greatness of the theme, and the introduction of allegorical characters in this play, there is undoubtedly a resemblance to the Greek model, and of the poetry of this composition no less a critic than Schlegel speaks in terms of enthusiastic praise.
