"Only Shakespeare comes close to Cervantes genius." Harold Bloom"The highest creation of genius has been achieved by Shakespeare and Cervantes, almost alone." Samuel Taylor Coleridge"What a monument is this book! How its creative genius, critical, free, and human, soars above its age!" Thomas Mann"Don Quixote looms so wonderfully above the skyline of literature, a gaunt giant on a lean nag, that the book lives and will live through his sheer vitality...The parody has become a paragon." Vladimir Nabokov"A more profound and powerful work than this is not to be met with...The final and greatest utterance of the human mind." Fyodor Dostoyevsky"Cervantes is the founder of the Modern Era. The novelist need answer to no one but Cervantes. Don Quixote is practically unthinkable as a living being, and yet, in our memory, what character is more alive?" Milan KunderaDon Quixote is considered one of the most influential works of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature and one of the earliest canonical novels, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published.It follows the adventures of a nameless hidalgo who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to set out to revive chivalry, undo wrongs, and bring justice to the world, under the name Don Quixote.
La Galatea suele considerarse como una novela pastoril. Es verdad que los personajes son pastores, pero la novela va mucho más allá, desarrolla un estudio psicológico del amor, siendo este el propósito de Cervantes al escribirla.La novela empezo a redactarse cuando Cervantes volvio de su cautiverio en Argel (diciembre de 1580). No tuvo mucho exito en las librerias, en comparacion con el enorme de la Diana de Montemayor y el grandisimo de la Diana enamorada de Gil Polo. Cervantes tuvo durante toda su vida un altisimo concepto de su novela y la intencion de publicar la segunda parte, pero murio sin haberlo hecho.

El Quijote es sin duda alguna el buque insignia de las letras españolas; es leído, admirado y estudiado por millones de lectores de todas las lenguas y países. La historia de un viejo que confunde la ?ccion con la realidad y que se inventa pasiones para afrontar sus dias de madurez, nos hace re?exionar a todos sobre que es realmente la cordura y a admirar los momentos, tanto de locura como de lucidez, del personaje, tan lleno de matices como de ocurrencias. Un hidalgo a?cionado a leer libros de caballerias pierde el juicio, se cree un caballero andante y sale en busca de aventuras. Su sueño inalcanzable es la bella Dulcinea. Como contrapunto, su genial escudero Sancho Panza, cuya personalidad se va formando y madurando a lo largo del relato. Nunca antes el uso de nuestro idioma alcanzo las cotas que logro el autor en esta obra.
The epic tale of Don Quixote and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, and their picaresque adventures in the world of seventeenth century Spain, form the basis of one of the great treasures of Western literature - a book that is both a hilarious satire of the chivalric code and a biting portrayal of an age in which nobility can be a form of madness.
It happened four or five hundred years ago when the age of chivalry in Europe had ended. But Don Quixote, the hero, was crazy about chivalric novels. He found the armor, lance and shield his great grandfather used, disguised himself as a knight and travelled across the world on a horse. Believing that he was the greatest knight in history, he was devoted to suppressing the evil and pacifying the good for the countries and their people. Bold to bear hardships, he was not afraid of the enemies and fought against the demons in his mind tenaciously.
