L'ingénieux Hidalgo Don Quichotte De La Manche - Tome II
1615
Translated by Louis Viardot
''L'ingénieux hidalgo Don Quichotte de la Manche - Tome II'' by Miguel de Cervantès Saavedra is a novel written in the early 17th century. This continuation of the iconic tale follows the eccentric nobleman Don Quichotte and his devoted squire Sancho Panza as they navigate a world steeped in the chivalric ideals that Quichotte seeks to emulate. The novel explores themes of reality versus illusion, the nature of heroism, and the folly of idealism, all woven through the humorous exploits of its unforgettable characters. At the start of this second installment, the prologue sets the tone, addressing the reader and the controversies surrounding the previous accounts of Don Quichotte's adventures. As the narrative unfolds, we learn of Don Quichotte's recent recovery from a period of madness and his yearning to resume his quest for chivalry, even as his friends, including the local barber and a priest, express concern for his well-being. The beginning also introduces humorous dialogues between characters, revealing Sancho's simplicity and wisdom, and hints at the ongoing misadventures that await them as they embark on new quests, arguing the merits and absurdities of their knightly ventures.

“-Mira, Sancho, por el mesmo que denantes juraste te juro - dijo don Quijote - que tienes el más corto entendimiento que tiene ni tuvo escudero en el mundo. ¿Que es posible que en cuanto ha que andas conmigo no has echado de ver que todas las cosas de los caballeros andantes parecen quimeras, necedades y desatinos, y que son todas hechas al revés? Y no porque sea ello ansí, sino porque andan entre nosotros siempre una caterva de encantadores, que todas nuestras cosas mudan y truecan, y les vuelven según su gusto, y según tienen la gana de favorecernos o destruirnos; y así, eso que a ti te parece bacía de barbero, me parece a mí el yelmo de Mambrino, y a otro le parecerá otra cosa.””
— Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
“Tú, con tu señor a acuestas; y yo, encima de ti, citando el oficio para que Dios me echó al mundo. (Don Quijote)””

“Thy false promise, and my certain misfortune, do carry me to such a place, as from thence thou shalt sooner receive news of my death than reasons of my just complaints. Thou hast disdained me, O ingrate! for one that hath more, but not for one that is worth more than I am; but if virtue were a treasure of estimation, I would not emulate other men’s fortunes, nor weep thus for mine own misfortunes. That which thy beauty erected, thy works have overthrown; by it I deemed thee to be an angel, and by these I certainly know thee to be but a woman. Rest in peace, O causer of my war! and let Heaven work so that thy spouse’s deceits remain still concealed, to the end thou mayst not repent what thou didst, and I be constrained to take revenge of that I desire not.””
— Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
“Everyone is the son of his works.””
— Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
