It’s my favorite book, it is still laugh out loud funny 500 years later.

[@GreatBooksin10minutes]

It is truly the epitome of a masterpiece. Thanks for watching and subscribing. 😊

What I love is how funny the book is, and how the same humor from the 1500s & 1600s is still hilarious today.

El honor se encuentra en el campo, ponerse andante y mantenerse afuera de casa, alejado de las mujeres salvo haber un Dulcinea alejado. No comas a menos que sea una vez por mes, luego podria ser gustaras el honor

[@GreatBooksin10minutes]

​@@erik878 ¡Jaja! ¡La búsqueda del honor de las formas más excéntricas y poco convencionales! Debo decir que tu espíritu aventurero es verdaderamente admirable. ¿Quién necesita la comodidad del hogar cuando puedes vagar como un caballero moderno? Y, por supuesto, todos debemos tener cautela alrededor de las mujeres, ¡excepto esa rara y esquiva Dulcinea que captura nuestros corazones desde cerca y con amor! Pero mi querido amigo, debo cuestionar la sabiduría de comer solo una vez al mes. ¿Estás intentando entrenar tu estómago en las artes de la caballería también? Tal vez creas que un estómago gruñendo añade un toque extra de galantería a tu comportamiento. ¡Debo admitir que es un enfoque único para mantener el honor! En cualquier caso, tu dedicación a este código de conducta es verdaderamente encomiable. ¡Que tus aventuras estén llenas de risas, tu Dulcinea siempre cerca y amorosa, y tus comidas, cuando lleguen, sean tan grandiosas como un banquete de caballero!

I believe this story is about the human part of aging. That the real truth is how healthy are you and honest will you be when you encounter others waiting and wondering about you? DQ is the symbol of aging and how living for the moment can be a momentous occasion -- all the time. Irony.

I had to buy about four different Don Quixote books before I got one that was written by an author who was able to translate the book so that it made sense. It is not only five hundred years old but it was written in Spanish about a very different culture. A very funny story.

My first exposure to “Don Quixote” came from a performance with the same title by Ballet West @ the Capital Theatre in Salt Lake City, Utah. I was young, and it wasn’t until later that I read the story, and came to realize how perfectly the story could be interpreted into Ballet… 😎

Amadis of gaul is older

[@GreatBooksin10minutes]

Thank you for your comment. While "Amadis of Gaul" is a significant work in the history of literature, "Don Quixote" is often seen as a pivotal point in the development of the novel as a literary form due to its innovative narrative techniques and themes. This is why it's frequently regarded as the first modern European novel.

I don't know why I was laughing on some scenes. Is this story supposed to be funny and humor as its genre? I have to re-tell this story on my report and I hope someone would answer my question so I know if I'm gonna smile or laugh when I'm telling the story, cause the last line too was 'do not marry a man who reads chivalry' something like that. it was somewhat funny for me or my humor is just broken? Help-

[@GreatBooksin10minutes]

It definitely is a very charming story, so laughing is for sure an acceptable reaction. There are scenes in the book like when Don Quixote attacks a shepherd's herd of sheep and sees them as an invading army, or when he beats the living daylight out of a barber and takes his basin as the prized helmet of an ancient warrior, you can't help but to laugh. Having said that, in its heart Don Quixote is an essay on the lost values of humanity. The ideal world that Cervantes is in search of is so distant from the one that he lives in, that when his protagonist actively tries to resurrect those values, he seems mad and out of place. Otherwise, when looked at through the lens of morality and humane behavior, what Don Quixote strives to be is not that far away from what the moral compass instructs us all to do. Virtues like helping the weak, standing up to oppression, courage in face of overwhelming opposition, etc. So the question to answer is, was Don Quixote mad because he was virtuous or he became mad when he got virtuous? Considering that madness here means going against the grain of the hegemony and not being afraid of looking strange and out of place.

[@kleyrackerman]
