This is the story of a gentle knight, a man seeking truth and justice who goes beautifully mad in the process. Cervantes sets free our imagination and discovers for us a new quality about the human spirit.
Read this just to be sure I'd grasped most of the book, and I had. Reaffirmed my awareness of the classic nature of Don Quixote. Also detected Cervantes's influence on Shakespeare. Could spend more time reading literary analysis of this great work of literature, but on to other books.
