Why should you read "Don Quixote"? - Ilan Stavans

Check out our Patreon page: / teded
Mounting his skinny steed, Don Quixote charges an army of giants. It is his duty to vanquish these behemoths in the name of his beloved lady, Dulcinea. There’s only one problem: the giants are merely windmills. What is it about this tale of the clumsy yet valiant knight that makes it so beloved? Ilan Stavans investigates.
Lesson by Ilan Stavans, directed by Avi Ofer.

"Don Quixote argues that our imagination greatly informs our actions, making us capable of change, and, indeed, making us human."

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

That’s not the message of the book, by any means

[@kalm6778]

@@JulioLeonFandinho But it has several messages one if I remember well was that of the freedom or moral decline of Spain at that time

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

@@kalm6778 It portraits many social types from that time, I don't think you can say one of the messages is that Spain was declining. It definitely criticizes aristocracy, but regular people too, although Cervantes was very careful in showing that within regular people you could always find good people... the salt of the Earth, we may say so. He was tough with Catholic church, but also with other social groups of the time, like lawyers... but at the same time he defended laws, for instance when Don Quixote frees the galley slaves. At first you think it's well done, because those people are convicted to a rowed ship, but then you realize that they were condemned because they were criminals, so, Don Quixote apparent justice act was in fact, appalling... And one of the points of the huge success of the novel in all Europe back then is that what Cervantes was describing in Spain, was happening in the other countries as well, if not exactly the same, probably worst... people realized that. The book is universal because all the issues treated in it happened everywhere. You can tell that many of those issues are still happening today. The book is still new, it's amazing. But the main message, the more general and abstract/philosophical message is precisely that an excess of 'imagination', uncontrolled idealism, always ends in a complete disaster. Cervantes wasn't an idealist at all. Some authors tried to connected him with Erasmus and humanism, but Cervantes thinking was, in fact, the opposite of that. He was a realistic man. It was during romanticism when many people started to say that El Quixote was a defense of idealism. Nothing further from reality

[@dhorn4005]

@@JulioLeonFandinho Y sin embargo; a la muerte del hidalgo, Sancho ruega a su maestro que vuelvan al camino; y así el realista se aferra al idealismo mientras el idealista acepta la realidad. No hay duda en que el mensaje realista está ahí; pero comprendo que los idealistas también encuentren inspiración en el libro. Yo creo que en ultima instancia Cervantes aboga por un equilibrio o cuanto menos una coexistencia de ambos aspectos. El idealista no puede cambiar el mundo en el que se encuentra, por muchos molinos contra los que cargue; pero al mismo tiempo es el único capaz de ver verdades que los acérrimos realistas son incapaces de ver. Yo casi lo definiría como una defensa del idealismo desde un punto de vista relista... si es que eso tiene algún sentido XDD En verdad creo que si Cervantes hubiese abogado por un punto de vista puramente realista, Quijote hubiese muerto apaleado y desprovisto de gloria en una cuneta; y no como una trágica y melancólica figura que muere feliz y cuerdo habiendo sido capaz de inspirar su idealismo a una futura generación personificada en Sancho... No se, es lo que a priori me transmite a mi XDD

[@brito809]

@Jefferson Cortez Definitely not the message of the book. The whole book was a harsh criticism of idealism. Specially the end where Alonzo Quijano came to his sense and criticized his insanity during the time he was Don Quijote.

It’s a beautiful book. There’s so much meaning in everything. In school you have to read it and I learned that whatever society tells you, even when something seems imposible, you can face the wind mills

[@TheShapingSickness]

Back in high school they forced us to read this book. I hated it with a passion, I couldn't finish the first page. The exams were near and I refused to read it, my mom offered to read it out loud for me, I said yes. After the first chapter I realized I wasn't even understanding anything the words said. My native Spanish is very different from Spain's Spanish, and it's even more different than Spain's 1600's Spanish. I gave up, did the exams anyways and never read it. I think this book really killed any desire for me to read books. Six or seven years passed until I read the first book since my failed attempt at Don Quijote, I read Nietzche El Anticristo, I kept it hidden from my parents since they're deeply religious. Eight more years have passed since I read that and I've now created for me the habit of reading, it is so wonderful that I regret all those years wasted. Maybe someday I'll read Don Quijote.

[@phatcrayonz]

[@hazzah5450]

I feel like Don Quixote is a fantastic novel to read and explore for such an idealistic generation as the one I am in, Gen Z/Millenials. The novel offers a provoking dissection of both the potential of idealism and romanticism to be a boon to an individual’s world outlook and an inherently cynical society, as well as the drawbacks of less grounded thought and a general lack of realism. Super cool :)

@@angelswrld. uh I'm three months late but I hope you need the explanation regardless lol. Don Quijote and Sancho Panza, in the second book, encounter people that have read the first book and try to mess with them to 'recreate' and experience in real life what they read in said first book. They also make some reference (I don't remember how) to the false second part, published to make fun of the official first book (el Quijote de Avellaneda). See, Cervantes had some beef with Lope de Vega (another famous Spaniard author) so it is said that he's the author of the second false novel; he uses it to insult both cervantes and his work, and Cervantes retorts with the official second part

The most important message from this book is “Vivir loco, morir cuerdo!” Which means live out your best life with no regret, only regret when you are about to die. Quijote died regretting acting on illusions and came to his senses on his last minutes but everyone else whom had been his acquaintance turned like him, with dreams and aspirations of being their greatest self and wanting Quijote to go back to his old self, the roles are reversed. You also forgot to mention how the second half was published under a fake Arabic author whom he created to avoid conflict with the church. Cervantes was just a straight genius.

It is very interesting to read it and to know both the time that Spain was passing through in the 17th century, and the life that Cervantes had (which is impressive). I read it as a teenager while I was studying literature (since it is almost 'mandatory' to at least know it in depth), the story grabs you little by little and doesn't let go until the end. Don Quixote will always be timeless because the feeling and what it transmits is recognizable in every human being. It is the force of love.

Don't Quixote was for Albert Einstein the best character that affected him personally... for these who finish reading the novel don't forget to watch the movie "Man of lamansha": to dream the impossible dream. Don Quixote changed my life He teached me that it's really crazy to be dreamer and a moral person in a hateful world BUT it will be worthy. When I finished the novel I missed Don Quixote very much and I cried. It was the same feeling when you farewell a great friend
