EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative scene from the classic Spanish novel "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes, the weary and elderly Don Quixote, with his distinctive long white beard and thinning gray hair, sits amidst a cluttered room filled with relics from his past glories. The once great knight, dressed in tattered armor and wielding an aged sword, gazes intently at a giant book spread out before him, lost in the memories of his fantastical adventures. The year is 1615, and the hero of the title, Don Quixote de la Mancha, has reached an advanced age. Yet, the fire of his dreams and the spirit of chivalry still burns brightly within him. Surrounded by objects from his travels, including a dragon's tooth, a lance, and a shield adorned with the emblem of his order, Don Quixote is reliving the impossible dreams that have defined his life. The room is a testament to the rich history of this literary icon, a reminder of the fantastical world he has created for himself. The air is thick with the scent of history and the magic of a bygone era. Don Quixote, the knight errant, continues to dream the impossible dream, his spirit undeterred by the passage of time. First published in two parts in 1605 and 1615, "Don Quixote" is considered one of the greatest works of fiction in Western literature. Its enduring popularity is a testament to the power of the human spirit and the ability to believe in the impossible, even in the face of age and adversity. This scene captures the essence of Don Quixote's indomitable spirit, a reminder that no matter our age, we can all dream and strive for the glories of our past.
