If ever you fliould chance to fall Into his company, tell him from me, that I do not think myfelf aggrieved: for I know very well what the temptations of the devil are, and that one of the greatefi is, the putting it into a man's head, that he can write and print a book, which {hall pro cure him as much fame as money, and as much money as fame: and, for confirmation hereof, I would have you, in a vein of mirth and pleafantry, tell him this fiery.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a satirical masterpiece that follows the adventures of Don Quixote, a man driven mad by reading too many chivalric romances. The author uses Quixote's misadventures to poke fun at the exaggerated ideals and unrealistic conventions of these popular tales. Originally published in two volumes in 1605 and 1615, this book follows Don Quixote as he sets out to right the world's wrongs, accompanied by his loyal but dim-witted squire, Sancho Panza. Along the way, they encounter a cast of eccentric characters, from giants (who are actually windmills) to damsels in distress (who are often just peasant girls). Through the misadventures of Quixote, the author explores themes of idealism, reality, and the power of imagination. Don Quixote's lofty ideals and unwavering belief in chivalry contrast sharply with the harsh realities of the world around him, leading to a series of hilarious and thought-provoking encounters. Ultimately, this book is a celebration of the human spirit and a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we should never give up on our dreams. Its insights into the human condition and the nature of reality have made it one of the most beloved and influential works of literature in history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
