Don Quixote or English learning

The character of the famous gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha and the plot of the book<\/h1>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

This remark on Don Quixote is connected with learning English in a mediated way. Sometimes we may learn English and behave like Don Qixote scattering from one place to another without pusuing one goal and then we will not really learn English… Read the story and the plot of the book first and then jump into learning English but keep yourself vigilant on what you read and what you learn.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Originally published in two parts, in 1605 and 1615, its full title is\u00a0The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha<\/b><\/i>\u00a0or, in Spanish,\u00a0El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote[b]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0de la Mancha<\/i><\/span><\/b>\u00a0(changing in Part 2 to\u00a0El ingenioso caballero don Quixote[b]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0de la Mancha<\/i><\/span><\/b>).[c]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0A founding work of\u00a0Western literature<\/a>, it is often labelled as the first modern\u00a0novel<\/a>[2]<\/a><\/sup>[3]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0and one of the greatest works ever written.[4]<\/a><\/sup>[5]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Don Quixote<\/i>\u00a0is also one of the\u00a0most-translated books in the world<\/a>[6]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0and the\u00a0best-selling novel of all time<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

The plot revolves around the adventures of a member of the lowest nobility, an\u00a0hidalgo<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0La Mancha<\/a>\u00a0named\u00a0Alonso Quijano<\/a>, who reads so many\u00a0chivalric romances<\/a>\u00a0that he loses his mind and decides to become a\u00a0knight-errant<\/a>\u00a0(caballero andante<\/i><\/span>) to revive\u00a0chivalry<\/a>\u00a0and serve his nation, under the name\u00a0Don<\/a>\u00a0Quixote de la Mancha<\/i><\/span>.[b]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0He recruits a simple farmer,\u00a0Sancho Panza<\/a>, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote’s lofty rhetoric. In the first part of the book, Don Quixote does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story meant for the annals of all time.<\/p>\r\n

The book had a major influence on the literary community, as evidenced by direct references in\u00a0Alexandre Dumas<\/a>‘\u00a0The Three Musketeers<\/a><\/i>\u00a0(1844),\u00a0Mark Twain<\/a>‘s\u00a0Adventures of Huckleberry Finn<\/a><\/i>\u00a0(1884), and\u00a0Edmond Rostand<\/a>‘s\u00a0Cyrano de Bergerac<\/a><\/i>\u00a0(1897),[citation needed<\/span><\/a><\/i>]<\/sup>\u00a0as well as the word\u00a0quixotic<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\r\n
