At once farcical and deeply philosophical, Cervantes' novel and its characters have become integrated into the cultures of the Western Hemisphere, influencing language and modern thought while inspiring art and artists such as Richard Strauss and Pablo Picasso. Based on Professor Roberto GonzaÌlez EchevarriÌa's popular open course at Yale University, this essential guide to the enduring Spanish classic facilitates a close reading of Don Quixote in the artistic and historical context of renaissance and baroque Spain while exploring why Cervantes' masterwork is still widely read and relevant today. GonzaÌlez EchevarriÌa addresses the novel's major themes and demonstrates how the story of an aging, deluded would-be knight-errant embodies that most modern of predicaments: the individual's dissatisfaction with the world in which he lives, and his struggle to make that would mesh with his desires. -- from back cover. 600 10 $a Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel de, $d 1547-1616. $t Don Quixote. 830 0 $a Open Yale courses series. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826111256.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20160511011255.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BB8257EC173D11E6929784D6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
