Books with title Adventures of Don Quixote

Excerpt from Adventures of Don QuixoteTo 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

MIGUEL DE CERVANTES SAAVERDA’S life was occupied with a struggle to earn a livelihood from literature and humble government employment.

SEVERAL hundred years ago, so the Spanish writer, Miguel de Cervantes, tells us, there lived down in a village of La Mancha, in Spain, a gentleman who usually kept a lance upon a rack, an old buckler, a lean horse and a coursing grayhound. Soup, composed of somewhat more mutton than beef, the fragments served up cold on most nights, lentils on Fridays, eggs on Saturdays, and a pigeon by way of addition on Sundays, consumed three-fourths of his income; the remainder of it supplied him with a cloak of fine cloth, velvet breeches, with slippers of the same for holidays, and a suit of the best homespun, in which he adorned himself on week-days. His family consisted of a housekeeper about forty, a niece not quite twenty and a lad who served him both in the field and at home, who could saddle the horse or handle the pruning-hook. The age of our gentleman bordered upon fifty years; he was of a strong constitution, spare bodied, of a meagre visage, a very early riser and a lover of the chase. Some pretend to say that his surname was Quixada, or Quesada, for on this point his historians differ; though from very probable conjectures, we may conclude that his name was Quixana.
