Bücher von Miguel de Cervantes

Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading romances of chivalry that he determines to become a knight errant and pursue bold adventures, accompanied by his squire, the cunning Sancho Panza. As they roam the world together, the aging Quixote's fancy leads them wildly astray.

En El cerco de Numancia, Miguel de Cervantes pone en escena el sacrificio colectivo ante el asedio del general romano Escipión a Numancia.En esta obra se describe la heroica defensa de Numancia, capital de los celtíberos arévacos. En el asedio de la ciudad los numantinos murieron de hambre antes que rendirse a los romanos de Escipión.La obra culmina con la decisión numantina de no entregar nada ni a nadie al enemigo, suicidándose colectivamente. Esta decisión los dignifica y honra sobre los romanos, a pesar de la muerte y la derrota.Según la crítica, Cervantes mezcló varias fuentes históricas, motivos literarios y dramas ficticios. Así creó esta tragedia alegórica llena de virtudes como el amor, el heroísmo, el patriotismo y algunos valores cristianos.Aquí el hambre parece un personaje más ciñéndose sobre los habitantes de la ciudad acosada. Se añaden además figuras alegóricas que profetizan un futuro glorioso para España. El cerco de Numancia es una obra donde la Providencia parece tener un cometido trascendental.

Die Gebrüder Brizzi greifen nach ihrer Graphic-Novel-Adaption von »Dantes Inferno« erneut zum Bleistift und nehmen sich den größten Klassiker der spanischen Literatur vor: »Don Quijote von der Mancha«. Die Lektüre einer übermäßigen Menge Ritterromane verleitet den armen Hidalgo Alonso dazu, selbst den Beruf des Ritters zu ergreifen und fortan Witwen und Waisen zu beschützen. Er nennt sich Don Quijote und zieht mit seinem treuen Knappen Sancho Panza in die Welt, geleitet von seinem Durst nach Abenteuern und der Liebe zu seiner Angebeteten Dulcinea. Seien es Riesen oder Armeen, Windmühlen oder Schafherden - Don Quijote stellt sich jeder Gefahr. Mancher wird ihm dabei helfen, andere werden ihn auslachen. Doch am Ende wird hoffentlich alles gut werden... Miguel de Cervantes zu Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts veröffentlichter, zweiteiliger Roman »Don Quijote von der Mancha« ist in der Literaturgeschichte wegweisend. Das Meisterwerk der Erzählkunst und der Historienfiktion beschäftigt seit 300 Jahren Gelehrte und Dichter und gilt vielen als erster moderner Roman überhaupt. Durch die Gebrüder Brizzi, ihre unnachahmliche Kunst der Reduktion und ihren feinsinnigen Bleistiftstrich, dürfen wir die urkomischen und doch tragischen Abenteuer des »Ritters von der traurigen Gestalt« als opulente Graphic Novel neu entdecken.

Don Quixote is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes. It was originally published in two parts, in 1605 and 1615. A founding work of Western literature, it is often labeled as the first modern novel and one of the greatest ever written. Don Quixote is also one of the most-translated books in the world.The plot revolves around the adventures of a member of the lowest nobility, an hidalgo (""Son of Someone""), from La Mancha named Alonso Quixano, who reads so many chivalric romances that he either loses or pretends to have lost his mind in order to become a knight-errant (caballero andante) to revive chivalry and serve his nation, under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical monologues on knighthood, already considered old-fashioned at the time, and representing the most vivid realism in contrast to his master's idealism. In the first part of the book, Don Quixote does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story.When first published, Don Quixote was usually interpreted as a comic novel. After the French Revolution, it was better known for its central ethic that individuals can be right while society is quite wrong and was seen as a story of disenchantment. In the 19th century, it was seen as social commentary, but no one could easily tell ""whose side Cervantes was on"". Many critics came to view the work as a tragedy in which Don Quixote's idealism and nobility are viewed by the post-chivalric world as insane, and are defeated and rendered useless by common reality. By the 20th century, the novel had come to occupy a canonical space as one of the foundations of modern literature.

Quando, giorni fa, mandai a Vostra Eccellenza le mie commedie, stampate prima che fossero rappresentate, dissi, se ben mi ricordo, che don Chisciotte si metteva gli sproni per venire a baciare le mani di V. S.: ora dico che se li è messi, che si è incamminato e che se egli giungerà, mi sembrerà di avere reso qualche servigio a V. E., viva essendo la premura che da tante e tante parti mi vien fatta d'inviarlo a toglier via il fastidio e la nausea prodotti da un altro don Chisciotte che, mascheratosi sotto il nome di Seconda Parte, va girovagando per il mondo . E chi se n'è mostrato più voglioso è stato il grande Imperatore della Cina, dacché, sarà un mese circa, mi ha scritto per un suo co...

In un borgo della Mancia, che non voglio ricordarmi come si chiama, viveva non è gran tempo un nobiluomo di quelli che hanno e lancia nella rastrelliera e un vecchio scudo, un magro ronzino e un levriere da caccia. Un piatto di qualcosa , più vacca che castrato, brincelli di carne in insalata, il più delle sere, frittata in zoccoli e zampetti il sabato, lenticchie il venerdì, un po' di piccioncino per soprappiù la domenica, esaurivano i tre quarti dei suoi averi. Al resto davano fine la zimarra di castorino, i calzoni di velluto per le feste con le corrispondenti controscarpe pur di velluto. Nei giorni fra settimana poi gli piaceva vestire d'orbace del più fino.

Limpias, pues, sus armas, hecho del morrión celada, puesto nombre a su rocín y confirmándose a sí mismo, se dio a entender que no le faltaba otra cosa sino buscar una dama de quien enamorarse; porque el caballero andante sin amores era árbol sin hojas y sin fruto y cuerpo sin alma. Decíase él: ¿Si yo, por malos de mis pecados, o por mi buena suerte, me encuentro por ahí con algún gigante, como de ordinario les acontece a los caballeros andantes, y le derribo de un encuentro, o le parto por mitad del cuerpo, o, finalmente, le venzo y le rindo, ¿no será bien tener a quien enviarle presentado y que entre y se hinque de rodillas ante mi dulce señora, y diga con voz humilde y rendido: «Yo, señora, soy el gigante Caraculiambro, señor de la ínsula Malindrania, a quien venció en singular batalla el jamás como se debe alabado caballero don Quijote de la Mancha, el cual me mandó que me presentase ante vuestra merced, para que la vuestra grandeza disponga de mí a su talante»? ¡Oh, cómo se holgó nuestro buen caballero cuando hubo hecho este discurso, y más cuando halló a quien dar nombre de su dama! Y fue, a lo que se cree, que en un lugar cerca del suyo había una moza labradora de muy buen parecer, de quien él un tiempo anduvo enamorado, aunque, según se entiende, ella jamás lo supo, ni le dio cata dello. Llamábase Aldonza Lorenzo, y a ésta le pareció ser bien darle título de señora de sus pensamientos; y, buscándole nombre que no desdijese mucho del suyo, y que tirase y se encaminase al de princesa y gran señora, vino a llamarla Dulcinea del Toboso, porque era natural del Toboso; nombre, a su parecer, músico y peregrino y significativo, como todos los demás que a él y a sus cosas había puesto.

The story follows the adventures of a nameless hidalgo who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to set out to revive chivalry, undo wrongs, and bring justice to the world, under the name Don Quixote. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story.Published in two volumes, in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote is considered one of the most influential works of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature and one of the earliest canonical novels, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published, such as the Bokklubben World Library collection that cites Don Quixote as authors' choice for the "best literary work ever written."

Depois de ler muitas novelas de cavalaria, um fidalgo pobre resolve se tornar cavaleiroandante. Adota o nome de Dom Quixote de la Mancha, em homenagem à região da Espanha em que nasceu. Conta com a ajuda de um camponês, Sancho Pança, que se torna seu escudeiro. Sua imaginação desenfreada o faz ver tudo de modo alucinado: moinhos se tornam gigantes; rebanhos se tornam exércitos; pousada, castelo e assim por diante.

Don Quixote is an epic and classic Spanish novel written by Miguel de Cervantes. Its full title is The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, or El ingenious hidalgo don Quixote, de la Mancha in Spanish. It was first published in two parts in 1605 and 1615. It is frequently referred to as the first modern book and one of the greatest works ever written. It is a foundational piece of Western literature. One of the most translated books in the world is Don Quixote. The story follows the exploits of Alonso Quijano, a hidalgo from La Mancha who belongs to the lowest class, who reads so many chivalric romances that he either goes insane or pretends to be insane in order to take the name Don Quixote de la Mancha and become a knight-errant (caballero andante) in order to restore chivalry and serve his country. Sancho Panza, a common farmer whom he hires as his squire, deals with Don Quixote's rhetorical monologues on knighthood, which are already regarded as archaic at the time, with a special, earthy wit, and represents the drollest realism in contrast to his master's idealism. The story spans a significant amount of time with recurring themes like the nature of reality and discourse.

L'intrigue couvre les aventures d'un pauvre gentilhomme, Hidalgo de la Manche, dénommé Alonso Quichano, obsédé par les livres de chevalerie, qu'il collectionne dans sa bibliothèque de façon maladive. Ceux-ci troublent son jugement au point que Quichano se prend un beau jour pour le chevalier errant Don Quichotte, dont la mission est de parcourir l'Espagne, pour combattre le mal et protéger les opprimés.À la fois roman médiéval -- un roman de chevalerie -- et roman de l'époque moderne alors naissante, le livre est une parodie des moeurs médiévales et de l'idéal chevaleresque, ainsi qu'une critique des structures sociales d'une société espagnole rigide et vécue comme absurde. Don Quichotte est un jalon important de l'histoire littéraire et les interprétations qu'on en donne sont multiples : pur comique, satire sociale, analyse politique. Il est considéré comme l'un des romans les plus importants de la littérature mondiale et comme le premier roman moderne.Le personnage, Alonso Quichano, est à l'origine de l'archétype du Don Quichotte, personnage généreux et idéaliste qui se pose en redresseur de torts
