"I think the last edition of Don Quixote will last several centuries, has historical items such as Ayala and De Riquer. The issue is making extraordinary Francisco Rico, "says Jeanmaire something before lamenting the" very obvious mistakes " the prologue by Mario Vargas Llosa. "On one hand, to say that this is not a parody, which is the greatest tribute that could be done to the books of chivalry, is a son of the romantic error, which were rescued from the dump," says Don Quixote. Gone one hundred years without making this look: now proved that it was a parody and that people laughed when first published. For most it is nice to say that is the epitome of a genre, is a lie. Another amazing thing to say is that Don Quixote is mad, which is like a metaphor, an allegory, if not insane, the work would lose much of adventures. The guy comes out to have adventures and fame, not to restore any horse out, and justice in the world, says Vargas. Then grab a paragraph in which Quixote Sancho makes a brief parliament on freedom, after having been 28 chapters in the Castle of the Dukes, today we would say hijacked, and Don Quixote sees as a precursor of liberalism. It's crazy. If I were a Marxist, could catch the speech he makes about the golden age in Chapter 11 and say that there's a precursor of Marxism, would be the same barbarity. And make many mistakes, says he is modern because it has two narrators, all horses had two texts, the modern work of Don Quixote is the emergence of lots of writers, not two. He says that is modern, too, because it has many interpolated stories: that is the most ancient of world literature. The Bible is. That's on the Gilgamesh. I have no authority to discuss with Vargas Llosa, but enables me Don Quixote, he is leading the homage of a whole language to its greatest book, and use three of fourteen pages to talk about a political idea is an outrage.
