Features: Since the novel was published 400 years ago, people's interest in it has only grown stronger, and they have come to understand its profound ideological connotations even more deeply. The 19th-century German poet Heinrich Heine, after learning to read in his early childhood, read this book, Don Quixote. He was heartbroken and wept when he saw the noble and righteous knight suffer humiliation and even beatings. At the same time, the British poet Lord Byron said that Don Quixote was "the most heart-wrenching story of all stories." The protagonist of Don Quixote is a knight, but this novel differs from the absurd and fictional knightly tales popular in Spain at the time. Instead, it is filled with wisdom and humor. The various events and characters experienced by Don Quixote and Sancho reflect the vast and rich social life of Spain during that era. In short, this great and immortal work, Don Quixote, has contributed two unique literary figures to the treasure trove of world literature. Whenever we read about them, we can't help but laugh. Don Quixote has had translations by famous writers and translators such as Fu Donghua and Yang Jiang in China. They are renowned writers and translators, and their deep affection for Don Quixote also demonstrates the status and value of this work.
