2015 marks the four hundredth anniversary of the publication of the
complete Don Quixote of La Mancha-an ageless masterpiece that is
unusually fertile and endlessly adaptable. Flaubert was inspired to
turn Emma Bovary into "a knight in skirts". Freud studied Quixote's
psyche. Twain was fascinated by it, as were Kafka, Picasso,
Nabokov, Borges and Welles. The novel has spawned ballets and
operas, poems and plays, films and video games, and even shapes the
identities of nations. In Quixote, Ilan Stavans, one of today's
pre-eminent cultural commentators, explores these many
manifestations. Training his eye on the tumultuous struggle between
logic and dreams, he reveals the ways in which a work of literature
is a living thing that influences and is influenced by the world
around it.
