Don Quixote

Cervantes' tale of the deranged gentleman who turns knight-errant have found its way into films, cartoons and even computer games. Intended as a parody of the most popular escapist fiction, the 'books of chivalry', this precursor of the modern novel broadened and deepened into a sophisticated, comic account of the contradictions of human nature.

Povestea lui Cervantes despre domnul tulburat care devine cavaler ratacit si-a gasit drumul in filme, desene animate si chiar jocuri pe calculator. Intentionat ca o parodie a celei mai populare fictiuni escapiste, ,,cartile cavaleresti", acest precursor al romanului modern s-a largit si s-a adancit intr-o relatare sofisticata, comica, a contradictiilor naturii umane.
