There are two reasons: first, there is always a pair of contradictions in the human spirit: ideal and reality. This is the first one. Don Quixote profoundly and vividly reveals this contradiction in the form of literature, which makes every generation feel that it is true and agrees with it. Second, Cervantes wrote Don Quixote as early as17th century. It can be said that he is the first person in modern novels. Because he is the first person, his Don Quixote has an inestimable influence on Spanish literature, European literature and even the whole world literature.
Therefore, such works will not only be translated into many languages. Don Quixote is such a work. Cervantes wrote Don Quixote in order to oppose the fabricated knight novel with bizarre plot and its bad influence on people. In Don Quixote, Cervantes criticized the evils of the times and exposed the ugly phenomenon of criticizing society. On the other hand, he praised the excellent moral qualities such as eliminating violence, punishing evil and promoting good, helping the poor and helping the weak, and praising the social ideal goal of the golden century.
brief Introduction of the content
When the story happened, the knight had been extinct for more than a century, but the protagonist Alonso Gihano (Don Quixote's real name) often fantasized that he was a medieval knight because he was addicted to knight novels, and then called himself "Don Quixote de la Manque" (the guardian of La Manque), pulling his neighbor Sancho Panza as his servant, "being a knight" and traveling around the world, making all kinds of things. But I finally woke up from my dream. He died after returning to his hometown.
