«De vivir Cervantes entre nosotros —escribe Andrés Trapiello— lo seguiríamos viendo como entonces: viejo, solitario, fracasado. Algunos piensan que no, y que le harían académico, le comprarían anteojos nuevos y le colgarían una medalla de los harapos. Qué ilusión.» De esa ilusión, tan cervantina, trata este libro; en él están las vidas de Cervantes, tantas como pudo llevar y no llevó, tantas como llevó y nos son desconocidas, tantas como se le conjeturan desde 1616.

Alban Forcione analyzes the problem which has most troubled modern readers of the Persiles, its episodic character and confusing proliferation of action. Examining closely the structure of the romance Cervantes considered his masterpiece and boldest contribution to literature, Mr. Forcione discerns in it a simple pattern: a coherent cycle of catastrophe and restoration linked symbolically to the Christian vision of man's fall and redemption.Originally published in 1972.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

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 González Echevarría'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. González Echevarría 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.

« Si Cervantes est l’écrivain dont je me sens le plus proche, cela tient à sa qualité de précurseur de toutes les aventures : si sa familiarité avec la vie musulmane donne à son œuvre une indéniable dimension mudéjar, l’invention romanesque, à travers laquelle il assume la totalité de ses expériences et de ses rêves, fait de lui le meilleur exemple de l’attitude illustrée par le dicton : humani nihil a me alienum puto. Trois siècles et demi plus tard, les romanciers font encore du “cervantisme” sans le savoir : en composant nos œuvres, nous écrivons à partir de Cervantes et pour Cervantes ; en écrivant sur Cervantes, nous écrivons sur nous-mêmes, que sa ferveur islamique nous soit étrangère ou familière. Cervantes reste le point vers lequel toujours convergeront nos regards. » Juan Goytisolo, extrait de « Vicissitudes du mudéjarisme », in Chroniques sarrasines, Paris, Fayard, 1985.
