Sancho Panza, a common farmer whom he hires as his squire, deals with Don Quixote's rhetorical monologues on knighthood, which are already regarded as archaic at the time, with a special, earthy wit, and represents the drollest realism in contrast to his master's idealism. The story spans a significant amount of time with recurring themes like the nature of reality and discourse.

Le Retable des merveilles est l'un des huit intermèdes écrits par Cervantès. Afin de remettre en lumière cette oeuvre injustement oubliée et très peu jouée, cet ouvrage en propose une nouvelle traduction modernisée, pour rendre l'argument plus universel, et une adaptation plus théâtrale, afin de faciliter la mise en scène. À lui seul, l'intermède de Cervantès est un texte très court, destiné à être joué en entracte. Cependant, dans la mesure où il convoque à la fois la musique et la danse, il peut donner lieu à la création de nombreux tableaux susceptibles d'enrichir le spectacle. Pour étoffer encore la proposition théâtrale, cette oeuvre est précédée d'un prologue intégrant une adaptation du conte de Don Juan Manuel (inclus dans son recueil Le Comte Lucanor) dont Cervantès s'est inspiré pour composer son intermède. Elle est suivie d'un épilogue, qui est une adaptation du célèbre épisode des moulins dans Don Quichotte.

Don Quixote is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes. It was published in two parts, in 1605 and 1615. A founding work of Western literature, it is often labeled "the first modern novel" and many authors consider it to be the best literary work ever written.The plot revolves around the adventures of a noble (hidalgo) from La Mancha named Alonso Quixano, who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his mind and decides to become a knight-errant (caballero andante) to revive chivalry and serve his nation, under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical monologues on knighthood, already considered old-fashioned at the time. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story.The book had a major influence on the literary community, as evidenced by direct references in Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers (1844), Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), and Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac (1897), as well as the word quixotic and the epithet Lothario; the latter refers to a character in "El curioso impertinente" ("The Impertinently Curious Man"), an intercalated story that appears in Part One, chapters 33-35. The 19th-century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer cited Don Quixote as one of the four greatest novels ever written.When first published, Don Quixote was usually interpreted as a comic novel. After the French Revolution, it was better known for its central ethic that individuals can be right while society is quite wrong and seen as disenchanting. In the 19th century, it was seen as a social commentary, but no one could easily tell "whose side Cervantes was on". Many critics came to view the work as a tragedy in which Don Quixote's idealism and nobility are viewed by the post-chivalric world as insane, and are defeated and rendered useless by common reality. By the 20th century, the novel had come to occupy a canonical space as one of the foundations of modern literature.

Este libro para niänos y jâovenes es una adaptaciâon en forma de câomicas de la famosa obra clâasica de Cervantes sobre las aventuras y las desventuras de Don Quijote de la Mancha y su escudero, Sancho Panza.

L'intrigue couvre les aventures d'un pauvre gentilhomme, Hidalgo de la Manche, dénommé Alonso Quichano, obsédé par les livres de chevalerie, qu'il collectionne dans sa bibliothèque de façon maladive. Ceux-ci troublent son jugement au point que Quichano se prend un beau jour pour le chevalier errant Don Quichotte, dont la mission est de parcourir l'Espagne, pour combattre le mal et protéger les opprimés.À la fois roman médiéval -- un roman de chevalerie -- et roman de l'époque moderne alors naissante, le livre est une parodie des moeurs médiévales et de l'idéal chevaleresque, ainsi qu'une critique des structures sociales d'une société espagnole rigide et vécue comme absurde. Don Quichotte est un jalon important de l'histoire littéraire et les interprétations qu'on en donne sont multiples : pur comique, satire sociale, analyse politique. Il est considéré comme l'un des romans les plus importants de la littérature mondiale et comme le premier roman moderne.Le personnage, Alonso Quichano, est à l'origine de l'archétype du Don Quichotte, personnage généreux et idéaliste qui se pose en redresseur de torts
