Publishing Date: 2005-01-01
Features: In a small village in Spain, there lived a poor who became obsessed with knightly novels. Determined to imitate ancient knights and travel the world to right wrongs, he put on a ragged suit of armor left by his grandfather, picked up a spear, and rode a pitifully thin horse. He set off with great pride and determination. He also chose a girl from the neighboring village to be his ideal "lady" and vowed to serve her for life. However, he was beaten "like a dried-up corpse" and carried back on a donkey by his neighbors. His family, both angry and amused, burned all the knightly novels in his room. Don Quixote did not give up and set off again. He convinced a farmer named Sancho to be his attendant, promising him the position of governor of the island one day. The journey turned out to be full of humor. On one such outing, Sancho became the "governor" in a town belonging to the Count of Don Quixote, and Don Quixote eagerly wanted to make a big impact. Despite the hardships they endured, Don Quixote remained steadfast in his dreams. Only when he was on his deathbed did he finally realize his dream.
The author of Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes, was one of the most outstanding realist novelists of the Spanish Renaissance. He was born into a poor family of doctors and only received a few years of middle school education. He once served as an attendant to a cardinal in Italy, where he was exposed to Italian literature and art and influenced by humanism. Due to his conflicts with the nobility and the church, Cervantes was falsely imprisoned several times. His famous masterpiece, Don Quixote, was conceived and matured in prison.
