L'Ingénieux Hidalgo Don Quichotte de la Manche - Tome 2
"Jamais chevalier errant n'eut écuyer plus bavard ni plaisantin que le mien." 1605 - 1615 : dix ans séparent la publication des deux tomes de Don Quichotte . Entre temps, Cervantes a fait du Chevalier à la triste figure un homme bien réel, fou à ses heures, sage dès qu'on ne lui parle pas de chevaliers... Aux yeux des personnages qu'il croise chemin faisant - et qui ont lu le récit de ses aventures ! -, il est désormais devenu un héros de roman. A la lucidité critique de l'humaniste se surimpose l'imagination débridée de l'écrivain. Avec Don Quichotte de la Manche (publié ici dans une nouvelle traduction), Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616) a inventé le roman moderne. Traduit de l'espagnol par Aline Schulman

About the author
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
4,876 books3,547 followersMiguel 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.

Suite de Don Quichotte écrite pour mettre fin aux aventures du chevalier errant afin que personne ne puisse l'utiliser et qu'il reste la propriété de Miguel de Cervantès.
2nd tome relativement similaire avec des passages toujours aussi drôles même si certaines parties du livre sont plus longues.
Le traitement du personnage est sadique et attire beaucoup moins d'empathie que dans le premier livre.
