"There is no book so bad...that it does not have something good in it."
Wow, I just completed it this very minute and I am both confused and satisfied.
This is probably the richest piece of literature that I have ever read. Ever!
The story isn't dragged at all, the pace is exactly perfect, the build up of each and every themes. Cervantes surely was witty with his words
The narrator of the book is the author and he narrates, which is called the history of Don Quixote as told by Cervantes' fictionally made, Arab philosopher, Cide Hamete Benengeli, taking no credit to himself which really was so witty that one can't explain and unless you read it. He makes mistakes, he makes corrections and that too in the most funny way.
Now about the novel: DON QUIXOTE is an old man, who is SO drowned in his fantasies of chivalry that he becomes delusional, to such a point that he can no more differentiate between real and illusion. He can very well attack a lifeless windmill, watermill, herds of sheeps, thinking they're giants or sea monsters or great armies advancing towards him.
And amidst all it, there's his friend, his squire Sancho Panza, oh the good Sancho Panza who is as fool as witty, as emotional as greedy. His proverbs, to be honest, were really both funny and witty one time, and totally out of place the other.
When the reader completes the first part of Don Quixote, they may think that it can't get anymore better; that's where Cervantes proves us wrong!
Part 2 contains some of the most funniest and strangest tales that I have ever read in my days being born. It was ridiculous and at other times absolutely serious.
There were many characters and they all play a crucial part in the madness of Don Quixote.
In a sentence, Don Quixote is a story of a "sane madman and a funny fool".
It was a journey, more than a reading. A journey well traveled.
Long live DON QUIXOTE and SANCHO PANZA
