The novel Don Quixote, written in the late sixteenth and early
seventeenth century by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, is widely
considered to be one of the greatest fictional works in the entire
canon of Western literature. At once farcical and deeply
philosophical, Cervantes' novel and its characters have become
integrated into the cultures of the Western Hemisphere, influencing
language and modern thought while inspiring art and artists such as
Richard Strauss and Pablo Picasso. Based on Professor Roberto
Gonzalez Echevarria's popular open course at Yale University, this
essential guide to the enduring Spanish classic facilitates a close
reading of Don Quixote in the artistic and historical context of
renaissance and baroque Spain while exploring why Cervantes'
masterwork is still widely read and relevant today. Gonzalez
Echevarria addresses the novel's major themes and demonstrates how
the story of an aging, deluded would-be knight-errant embodies that
most modern of predicaments: the individual's dissatisfaction with
the world in which he lives, and his struggle to make that world
mesh with his desires.
