Translated by John Ormsby
The History of Don Quixote, Volume 1, Part 17, published in 1605 by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, continues the adventures of the delusional nobleman Don Quixote. In this section, a conversation between Don Quixote and a canon explores the merits of chivalric literature, while his squire Sancho Panza expresses his comedic aspirations for power. This part highlights themes of reality versus illusion and the nature of heroism, showcasing Cervantes' blend of humor and social commentary. It also introduces a goatherd who reflects on the wisdom of simplicity, setting the stage for further adventures.
