“Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!"- Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. Quixote's tragedy is his madness, making him believe that the world is fair and just, and one in which he can make a difference. However, his noble intentions are met with deception and harsh punishment. Considered the first modern novel in literary history, Don Quixote showcases Cervantes' narrative genius. Through the use of metafiction, parody of contemporary narrative genres, heteroglossia, and an unreliable narrator, Cervantes masterfully crafted a timeless work of fiction. The list of writers influenced by Cervantes’ masterpiece is endless: Dickens, Honoré de Balzac, Goethe, Stendhal, Flaubert, Dostoyevsky, Borges, Faulkner, Nabokov…some of their works have been directed and explicitly modeled on Cervantes’ creation. In the picture: Glorious monument to one of the greatest writers of the world and to his two (anti)heros - Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, erected in Madrid in 1929. #DonQuixote #Cervantes #LiteraryHistory #ModernNovel #spain #madrid

Tolkien’s; and finally, the 2021 film by David Lowery. CANDIDATE: Vote by August 1 to see it run!  Monday/Wednesday at 6 pm ET beginning September 4  https://ow.ly/qMhK50SAO25
