Se bara, käre Sancho, där har vi nu trettio eller några till hiskliga jättar som jag tänker kämpa med och fälla till sista man.

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

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.
