Quel che successe al famoso Don Chisciotte nella Sierra Morena, che fu una delle più straordinarie avventure raccontate in questa veridica storia Il povero don Chisciotte si trova in questo stato d'animo quando si imbatte in una compagnia di comici coi quali non riesce a mettersi d'accordo e viene messo in fuga da un fitto lancio di sassi.

Its full title is The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha or, in Spanish, El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha (Pronunciation: Spanish: [el iŋxeˈnjosojˈðalɣo ðoŋ kiˈxote ðe la ˈmantʃa] ⓘ), Early Modern Spanish: [el inʃeˈnjos̺ojˈðalɣo ðoŋ kiˈʃote ðe la ˈmantʃa, -ˈnjos̺o hiˈðalɣo-]) . In Part 2, hidalgo is replaced with caballero (Pronunciation: Spanish pronunciation: [kaβaˈʎeɾo], meaning "knight". Near the end of the 17th century, John Phillips, a nephew of poet John Milton, published what Putnam considered the worst English translation. The translation, as literary critics claim, was not based on Cervantes' text but mostly on a French work by Filleau de Saint-Martin and on notes which Thomas Shelton had written. Reviewing the English translations as a whole, Daniel Eisenberg stated that there is no one translation ideal for every purpose, but expressed a preference for those of Putnam and the revision of Ormsby's translation by Douglas and Jones. [68] English Translation of the Spurious Don Quixote [ edit ] Dorotea tells Fernando to go ahead kill her so there will be no further obstacles to his passion for Lucinda. Dorotea's generosity reawakens Fernando's old love for her and he decides to marry her after all. Ordogno shows up disguised as Pandafilando and defeats Don Chisciotte in a duel. He sentences Don Chisciotte to return to La Mancha and shuts him up in a cage which will take him there. Don Chisciotte 's friends now explain their ruse to him, but he interprets everything that has happened as the result of sorcery. As he is taken away in his cage, the final chorus warns the audience not to make fun of him because there are many people even crazier than he. The act ends with a dance of the hotel servants dressed in various masks and disguises. Fernando's guards have found Lucinda. He once again asks her to marry him but she refuses. Alone, Don Chisciotte sings of his love for Dulcinea and how he much he is suffering from their separation. Sancio arrives and recounts how with the aid of magic he was able to fly to Dulcinea who told him that she wants only one thing—Don Chisciotte's return. Lope confirms Sancio's story. Dorotea then appears disguised as the "Queen of Micomicona" accompanied by her "squire" (Ordogno in disguise) and her "tutor" (Cardenio in disguise). She asks Don Chisciotte's help to regain her throne which has been usurped by the giant "Pandafilando". The road to "Micomicona" will pass through Don Chisciotte's homeland, La Mancha. As a gesture of thanks for his help and a token of her "love", she will make him the lord of La Mancha. Don Chisciotte promises her his help but not his love. At a nearby inn, Sancio encounters the serving woman Maritorne who tries to seduce him, but he rejects her advances.

The narrator ends the story by saying that he has found manuscripts of Quixote's further adventures. a b Sieber, Harry. " Don Quixote in Translation". The Don Quixote Exhibit, Tour 2, Chapter 5.

Una volta al villaggio, forse per l'abbattimento di essere stato vinto o per destino, viene colto da un'improvvisa febbre che lo tiene a letto per sei giorni. Malgrado la visita degli amici il cavaliere si sente molto triste e, al termine di un sonno di sei ore, si sveglia gridando che stava per morire e ringraziando Dio per aver riacquistato il senno. Don Chisciotte vuole confessarsi e in seguito fare testamento, e dopo qualche giorno, tra i pianti degli amici e soprattutto di Sancio, muore.

In Old Castilian, the letter x represented the sound written sh in modern English, so the name was originally pronounced [kiˈʃote]. However, as Old Castilian evolved towards modern Spanish, a sound change caused it to be pronounced with a voiceless velar fricative [ x] sound (like the Scots or German ch), and today the Spanish pronunciation of "Quixote" is [kiˈxote]. The original pronunciation is reflected in languages such as Asturian, Leonese, Galician, Catalan, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish and French, where it is pronounced with a "sh" or "ch" sound; the French opera Don Quichotte is one of the best-known modern examples of this pronunciation.

Più avanti egli incontra il Cavaliere degli Specchi che lo sfida a duello con la condizione che il perdente sarebbe stato alle condizioni del vincitore; per un imprevisto don Chisciotte vince il duello. Lo sconfitto non è altro che uno studente di Salamanca, un certo Sansone Carrasco amico di don Chisciotte, che ricorre a quel trucco nella speranza di vincere il duello per ricondurlo al villaggio, ma non ci riesce. Medical theories may have also influenced Cervantes' literary process. Cervantes had familial ties to the distinguished medical community. His father, Rodrigo de Cervantes, and his great-grandfather, Juan Díaz de Torreblanca, were surgeons. Additionally, his sister, Andrea de Cervantes, was a nurse. [29] He also befriended many individuals involved in the medical field, in that he knew medical author Francisco Díaz, an expert in urology, and royal doctor Antonio Ponce de Santa Cruz who served as a personal doctor to both Philip III and Philip IV of Spain.

[38] Their findings were published in a paper titled "' El Quijote' como un sistema de distancias/tiempos: hacia la localización del lugar de la Mancha", which was later published as a book: El enigma resuelto del Quijote. The result was replicated in two subsequent investigations: "La determinación del lugar de la Mancha como problema estadístico" and "The Kinematics of the Quixote and the Identity of the 'Place in La Mancha'".

Character-naming in Don Quixote makes ample figural use of contradiction, inversion, and irony, such as the names Rocinante [14] (a reversal) and Dulcinea (an allusion to illusion), and the word quixote itself, possibly a pun on quijada (jaw) but certainly [ citation needed] cuixot (Catalan: thighs), a reference to a horse's rump.
