When he talks, it's clear that economy of language is not the strong suit of these books. And I think we've probably each highlighted some passages of Don Quixote talking. He says and phrases the poor gentleman lost his mind. Aristotle himself, if he came back to life for only that purpose, would not have been able to decipher or understand. But yes, I am convinced that we could just sit here and just quote the book at each other. Just read sick passages ofDon Quixote.
Welcome to our newest show-within-a-show! We're reading Edith Grossman's translation of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes a few chapters at a time. Some Patreon supporters get these episodes monthly, but every two months we'll combine them for general consumption.
These episodes cover Chapters 1-14.
In Episode 1, we do some table-setting on the author and translation, and then we dive into the first four chapters of the story. In Episode 2, our hero recruits the squire Sancho Panza and goes tilting after some windmills. Also we hear a whole story about a guy who died from lovesickness.
Join us as we meet this errant knight-errant!
