EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting scene from the literary masterpiece 'Don Quixote' by Miguel de Cervantes, published between 1605 and 1615, the errant knight Don Quixote, portrayed here with his characteristic helmet and lance, encounters a flock of sheep in the rural countryside. The hero, lost in his fantasies of chivalric adventure, mistakes the peaceful flock for an approaching army, ready to do battle. The simple beauty of the pastoral setting, with its rolling hills and sunlit landscape, contrasts sharply with the knight's grandiose delusions. Don Quixote, a fictional character created in 1605, has captivated readers for centuries with his unwavering commitment to his self-created identity as a knight-errant. This scene, from the second part of the novel, published in 1615, is a testament to the hero's unyielding spirit and his unique perspective on the world around him. The encounter with the sheep, though seemingly insignificant, is a reminder of the unexpected twists and turns that define the Don Quixote's adventures. This image, from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to a time when the line between reality and fantasy was blurred, and the power of the imagination could transform the most ordinary of scenes into a grand adventure. The image is a reminder of the enduring appeal of Don Quixote, a literary classic that continues to inspire and delight readers, more than 400 years after it was first published.
