Don Quixote

Cervantes' tale of the deranged gentleman who turns knight-errant have found its way into films, cartoons and even computer games. Intended as a parody of the most popular escapist fiction, the 'books of chivalry', this precursor of the modern novel broadened and deepened into a sophisticated, comic account of the contradictions of human nature.

Povestea lui Cervantes despre gentilomul dement care devine cavaler ratacitor si-a gasit locul in filme, desene animate si chiar jocuri pe calculator. Conceputa ca o parodie a celei mai populare fictiuni escapiste, ,,cartile de cavalerism", aceasta precursoare a romanului modern s-a extins si s-a aprofundat intr-o relatare sofisticata si comica a contradictiilor naturii umane.
