Don Quixote is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes. It was originally published in two parts, in 1605 and 1615. A founding work of Western literature, it is often labeled as the first modern novel and one of the greatest ever written. Don Quixote is also one of the most-translated books in the world. The plot revolves around the adventures of a member of the lowest nobility, an hidalgo (""Son of Someone""), from La Mancha named Alonso Quixano, who reads so many chivalric romances that he either loses or pretends to have lost his mind in order to become a knight-errant (caballero andante) to revive chivalry and serve his nation, under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote''s rhetorical monologues on knighthood, already considered old-fashioned at the time, and representing the most vivid realism in contrast to his master''s idealism. In the first part of the book, Don Quixote does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story. When first published, Don Quixote was usually interpreted as a comic novel. After the French Revolution, it was better known for its central ethic that individuals can be right while society is quite wrong and was seen as a story of disenchantment. In the 19th century, it was seen as social commentary, but no one could easily tell ""whose side Cervantes was on"". Many critics came to view the work as a tragedy in which Don Quixote''s idealism and nobility are viewed by the post-chivalric world as insane, and are defeated and rendered useless by common reality. By the 20th century, the novel had come to occupy a canonical space as one of the foundations of modern literature.

This is an absorbing short story about Tomás Rodaja, an abandoned young boy who is found by strangers. He impresses them with his humor and intellect resulting in them taking him on as an adoptive son. But things take a horrific turn for Tomás when a young girl falls in love with him.

Numantia presents the patriotic story of collective sacrifice in the face of General Scipio''s siege. It shows the collapse of the pre-Roman city of Numancia, in Spain, during the time when Genera Scipio Aemilianus built a huge wall around the city. This prevented the entrance of food or the citizens'' escape, leading to the defeat of the Iberians by hunger. Cervantes adds a slight love angle to the main political-military subject to increase the audience''s interest. The most incredible thing about this tragedy is that there are no main characters. All Numantians act as one absolute power. Each character embodies a different aspect of life and comes from a separate class of society, but during War, all differences are forgotten, and everyone joins the hand. Numantia has a historical value apart from its artistic merit. It was declared by some critics to be the first work of actual tragic power that appeared in Europe since the extinction of the Greek and Roman drama.

Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading chivalric romances that he determines to become a knight-errant himself. In the company of his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, his exploits blossom in all sorts of wonderful ways. While Quixote''s fancy often leads him astray--he tilts at windmills, imagining them to be giants--Sancho acquires cunning and a certain sagacity. Sane madman and wise fool, they roam the world together, and together they have haunted readers'' imaginations for nearly four hundred years.With its experimental form and literary playfulness, Don Quixote has been generally recognized as the first modern novel. The book has been enormously influential on a host of writers, from Fielding and Sterne to Flaubert, Dickens, Melville, and Faulkner, who reread it once a year, "just as some people read the Bible."

"I detsamma fick de syn på väderkvarnarna, upp emot fyrtio stycken som stod där mitt på slätten, och så fort Don Quijote såg dem sade han till sin väpnare:- Lyckan leder oss bättre än vi någonsin kunde önska. Se bara, käre Sancho, där har vi nu trettio eller några till hiskliga jättar som jag tänker kämpa med och fälla till sista man. Med bytet från dem ska vi grunda vår rikedom, det är god kamp och en gudi behaglig gärning att utrota ohyran från jordens yta." "Don Quijote av la Mancha" brukar beskrivas som världens första moderna roman. I denna äventyrsfyllda berättelse möter vi Don Quijote, som förläst sig på riddarromaner och bestämmer sig för att bege sig ut på äventyr. Springaren Rosinante är hans följeslagare, och tillsammans med väpnaren Sancho Panza reser han ut i Europa för att finna rikedomar och berömdhet, och vinna den vackra prinsessan Dulcineas gunst. Berättelsen om Don Quijote är en av världens mest berömda litterära verk, och med sina upptåg har de fantasifulla karaktärerna underhållit läsare i 400 år.

Se le ha dado el sobrenombre de �Pr�ncipe de los Ingenios�.Cervantes es sumamente original. Parodiando un g�nero que empezaba a periclitar, como el de los libros de caballer�as, cre� otro g�nero sumamente vivaz, la novela polif�nica, donde se superponen las cosmovisiones y los puntos de vista hasta confundirse en complejidad con la misma realidad, recurriendo incluso a juegos metaficcionales. En la �poca la �pica pod�a escribirse tambi�n en prosa, y con el precedente en el teatro del poco respeto a los modelos cl�sicos de Lope de Vega, le cupo a �l en suma fraguar la f�rmula del realismo en la narrativa tal y como hab�a sido preanunciada en Espa�a por toda una tradici�n literaria desde el Cantar del M�o Cid, ofreci�ndosela a Europa, donde Cervantes tuvo m�s disc�pulos que en Espa�a. La novela realista entera del siglo XIX est� marcada por este magisterio. Por otra parte, otra gran obra maestra de Cervantes, las Novelas ejemplares, demuestra la amplitud de miras de su esp�ritu y su deseo de experimentar con las estructuras narrativas. En esta colecci�n de novelas el autor experimenta con la novela bizantina (La espa�ola inglesa), la novela polic�aca o criminal (La fuerza de la sangre, El celoso extreme�o), el di�logo lucianesco (El coloquio de los perros), la miscel�nea de sentencias y donaires (El licenciado Vidriera), la novela picaresca (Rinconete y Cortadillo), la narraci�n constituida sobre una anagn�risis (La gitanilla), etc.

Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Published in two volumes, in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote is considered the most influential work 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, such as the Bokklubben World Library collection that cites Don Quixote as the authors'' choice for the "best literary work ever written".[2]The story follows the adventures of an hidalgo named Mr. Alonso Quixano 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 de la Mancha. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote''s rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story. Throughout the novel, Cervantes uses such literary techniques as realism, metatheatre, and intertextuality. The book had a major influence on the literary community, as evidenced by direct references in Alexandre Dumas'' The Three Musketeers (1844), Mark Twain''s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), and Edmond Rostand''s Cyrano de Bergerac (1897), as well as the word "quixotic" and the epithet "Lothario"; the latter refers to a character in "El Curioso Impertinente" ("The Impertinently Curious Man"), an intercalated story that appears in Part One, Book Four, chapters 33-35. Arthur Schopenhauer cited Don Quixote as one of the four greatest novels ever written, along with Tristram Shandy, La Nouvelle H�lo�se, and Wilhelm Meister

The story of two poor boys in the golden spanish era.

With regard to Don Quixote, it need hardly be said that its object is satire upon the books of knight-errantry, which were so much used in the time of Cervantes, and especially by the Spanish. He conceived that these books were likely to give his countrymen false ideas of the world; to fill them all, but especially the young, with fanciful notions of life, and so make them unfit to meet its real difficulties and hardships. In order to exhibit the absurdity of such works (it must be remembered too, that the more famous books of knighthood had given rise to a host of spurious imitations, with all their faults and none of their beauties), the author of Don Quixote represents a worthy gentleman with his head turned by such reading, and then sallying forth and endeavouring to act in this plain matter-of-fact world (where there are windmills, and not giants-inns, and not castles-good honest hosts and hostesses, and not lords and ladies-chambermaids, and not peerless beauties-estates to be got by hard labour, and not islands to be given away to one''s dependants as if by enchantment), endeavouring to act, we say, as if all that was said in Amadis de Gaul, and Palmerin of England, and Olivante de Laura, were really true.
