The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint)
Author: Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780483571136
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 688
Book Description
Excerpt from The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, Vol. 2 of 2 I suspect thou wilt say that I am taking a very humble line, and keeping myself too much within the bounds of my modera tion, from a feeling that additional suffering should not be inflicted upon a sufferer, and that what this gentleman has to endure must doubtless be very great, as he does not dare to come out into the open field and broad daylight, but hides his name and disguises his country as if he had been guilty of some lese majesty. If perchance thou shouldst come to know him, tell him from me that I do not hold myself aggrieved; for I know well what the temptations of the devil are, and that one of the greatest is putting it into a man's head that he can write and print a book by which he will get as much fame as money, and as much money as fame; and to prove it I will beg of you, in your own sprightly, pleasant way, to tell him this story.

Author: Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
Publisher: Forgotten Books

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 580
Book Description
Excerpt from The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, Vol. 2 But there is something which I cannot so easily pass over; he is pleased to upbraid me with my age; as if it had been in my power to stop the career of Time. Then he tells me of the loss of one of my hands, as if that maim had been got in a quarrel in some tavern, and not upon the most memorable occasion that either past or present ages have beheld, and which, perhaps, futurity will never parallel. If my wounds do not redound to my honour in the thoughts of some of those that look upon them, they will at least secure me the esteem of those that know how they were gotten. A soldier makes a nobler figure as he lies dead in battle, than safe in flight and I am so far from being ashamed of the loss of my hand, that were it possible to recall the same opportunity, I should think my wounds but a small price for sharing in that prodigious action. The scars in a soldier's face and breast are the stars that by a laudable imitation guide others to the port of honour and glory. Besides, it is not the grey hairs, but the understanding of a man, that may be said to write; and years are wont to improve the latter.
