堂吉诃德:全2册(下)

Rate this book

本书是西班牙大师塞万提斯划时代的巨著,是文艺复兴时期的现实主义巨作,也是世界文学史上一颗璀璨的明珠。主人公堂吉诃德一方面脱离现实,爱幻想,企图仿效游侠骑士的生活;另一方面又心地善良,立志铲除人间邪恶。是一个可笑、可叹、可悲又可敬的人物,是幽默文学中一个不朽的典型。(This book is an epoch-making masterpiece of Cervantes, a Spanish master, a realistic masterpiece of the Renaissance, and a bright pearl in the history of world literature. On the one hand, Don Quixote, the protagonist, is divorced from reality, loves fantasy and attempts to imitate the life of knight errant; on the other hand, he is kind-hearted and determined to eradicate the evil in the world. It is a laughable, lamentable, pathetic and respectable character and an immortal model in humorous literature.)

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Miguel de Cervantes y Cortinas, later Saavedra was a Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright. His novel Don Quixote is often considered his magnum opus, as well as the first modern novel.

It is assumed that Miguel de Cervantes was born in Alcalá de Henares. His father was Rodrigo de Cervantes, a surgeon of cordoban descent. Little is known of his mother Leonor de Cortinas, except that she was a native of Arganda del Rey.

In 1569, Cervantes moved to Italy, where he served as a valet to Giulio Acquaviva, a wealthy priest who was elevated to cardinal the next year. By then, Cervantes had enlisted as a soldier in a Spanish Navy infantry regiment and continued his military life until 1575, when he was captured by Algerian corsairs. He was then released on ransom from his captors by his parents and the Trinitarians, a Catholic religious order.

He subsequently returned to his family in Madrid.
In Esquivias (Province of Toledo), on 12 December 1584, he married the much younger Catalina de Salazar y Palacios (Toledo, Esquivias –, 31 October 1626), daughter of Fernando de Salazar y Vozmediano and Catalina de Palacios. Her uncle Alonso de Quesada y Salazar is said to have inspired the character of Don Quixote. During the next 20 years Cervantes led a nomadic existence, working as a purchasing agent for the Spanish Armada and as a tax collector. He suffered a bankruptcy and was imprisoned at least twice (1597 and 1602) for irregularities in his accounts. Between 1596 and 1600, he lived primarily in Seville. In 1606, Cervantes settled in Madrid, where he remained for the rest of his life.
Cervantes died in Madrid on April 23, 1616.
