Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Exploits of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote De La Mancha
Heaven S! With what impatience, gentle, or, it may be, simple reader, must thou be now waiting for this preface, expecting to find in it resentments, rail ings, and invectives without number, against the au thor of the second Don Quixote him, I mean, who, it is said, was begotten in Tordes1llas, and whelped in Tarragona! But, in truth, it is'not my design to give thee that satisfaction; for, though injuries are apt to awaken choler in the humblest breasts, yet in mine must this rule admit of an exception. Thou wouldst have me, perhaps, call him ass, coxcomb, madman! But no. Be his own sin his punishment; let him chew the cud of remorse, and there, for me, let the matter rest.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a notable literary piece whose narrative revolves around the chivalrous adventures of a man who has lost touch with reality, Don Quixote, and a peasant called Sancho Panza. The author ingeniously critiques the popularity of chivalric novels through this endearing yet deluded protagonist. Don Quixote's earnest yet absurd belief that he is a knight errant is contrasted with the grounded skepticism of Sancho Panza, resulting in a masterful exploration of the boundary between fantasy and reality. The episodic structure of the novel allows for a wide range of social and philosophical themes to be explored and the relentless idealism and optimism of Don Quixote are ultimately set against the harsh truths of the real world. This story is a timeless classic that continues to be popular around the world today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331462439_0
