Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
1615
Translated by J. A. (Juho Aukusti) Hollo
A novel written in the early 17th century. This literary work serves as a sequel to the original ''Don Quijote,'' further exploring the adventures and misadventures of the titular character, Don Quijote, and his loyal squire, Sancho Panza. The story delves into themes of chivalry, delusion, and the contrasts between reality and imagination. The opening of the sequel reveals a reflective and engaging preface where the author addresses the readers and anticipates their reactions regarding the prior adventure of Don Quijote. It sets a thoughtful tone reflecting on the reception of Don Quijote’s exploits while hinting at the unfolding narrative that would involve discussions about reality and chivalrous ideals. The first chapter presents a conversation between Don Quijote, who appears to be in a delicate mental state, a priest, and a barber discussing his condition while revealing subtle comedic elements. They speculate about Don Quijote's health and prepare for his upcoming adventures, establishing the ongoing theme of delusion intertwined with humor that characterizes the series.
