1605
Translated by John Ormsby
A novel written during the early 17th century, part of the Spanish Golden Age. This segment of the story follows the misadventures of the delusional knight Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza as they journey through various experiences, blending absurdity with reflections on virtue and reality. The likely topic revolves around their continued quests, character developments, and the interplay of their contrasting ideals. In this section, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza engage in a humorous yet poignant dialogue while traveling back to their village. Sancho expresses his frustration about not receiving a promised reward for his efforts to heal Altisidora, leading Don Quixote to suggest a self-inflicted penance to earn payment. The ensuing comedic episode features Sancho whipping himself in a misguided attempt to fulfill his obligations, while Don Quixote offers amusing encouragement. As they travel, they encounter Don Alvaro Tarfe, who mistakenly believes he knows a different Don Quixote, prompting a discussion that underscores the absurdity of their shared experiences. Ultimately, the two return to their village, contemplating their future adventures and the essence of valor and victory in their peculiar lives.
