Cervantes was the ultimate loser in his time.

Problem, Cervantes?

>Second unofficial part was made by Lope

Do you have sources on that claim?

>>2080194
That sounds pretty fucking based imo

>>2080330
There is an apocryph Quijote signed by some Avellaneda and Lope de Vega has always been suspected of writing it . Is a fact that Cervantes and Lope were bitter enemies.

A Castillian hero that understood the malicious influence of the Catalans was causiusing the fall of morality in Spain

"Freedom, Sancho, is one of the most precious gifts that heaven has bestowed upon men''

Quixote was so based

Latin american but it really doesn´t matter.
Everyone born into the castillian language should read the Quijote, it´s like something magically clicks inside when you do it

It is pretty sad for me. In reality he tries to acts noble and chivalrous in a cruel world that lost all its values. At the end even Sancho realizes about this.

>>2080522
Sancho becomes Don Quijote in the end, it´s wonderful.
Also the book has many layers. The windmill thing is about confusing the spiritual with the material

>>2080548
Also Cervantes prose is wonderful and very dynamic.

Funny thing how currently everybody knows Cervantes while few people knows Lope de Vega and only in Spain. Hell, Calderon de la Barca is more known than Lope de Vega.

Fun fact: the street where Lope de Vega house is located (it still remains like it was in 1600s) is called now Cervantes street.

Lope de Vega was the Cristiano Ronaldo of Siglo de Oro, very popular, loved and with tons of sex. Cervantes was a nobody in his time.

Yet Cervantes, despise being a loser in life, has been the ultimate winner in eternity.

PD: According to Nobel Institute, the Quixote is the best book of all time https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/may/08/humanities.books

Don Quixote is brilliant, especially compared with tripe like Candide.

Don Quixote is certainly clownish at times, but he's also noble in a way. He tries to be the change he wants in the world, and it's the world's fault that he fails.

Sure, he seems out of place in this world, but living in his would be infinitely better.

>people who read Don Quixote in translation think they read Don Quixote

Friendly reminder Cervantes was also the hero the War of Lepanto needed
