Don Quixote, main introduction: 2002, in Oslo, Norway Book Club organized a selection "e;most worth reading novels"e;. After selection of one hundred famous writer from 54 countries, "e;Don Quixote"e; ranks number one with more than 50 percent of the vote in the one hundred works. In announcing the results, the organizers, said: "e;If there is a must read before the death of the novel, it is "e; Don Quixote "e; The idea of "e; Don Quixote, "e; is very wonderful, attractive, while, also simple. "e;the famous Russian author Dostoyevsky has ever commented on Cervantes 'Don Quixote,"e;: "e;To the end of the earth to ask people,' Do you understand your life on Earth? how should you summarize this life? 'at that time, people could quietly hand over "e;Don Quixote"e;, said,' This is what I summarize to live. Could you blame me because of this? "e;' "e; Don Quixote "e;describes a absurd and unreasonable Knight, but it is not just a fiction which satire knight literary. It is very different from other literary works. It may able to illustrate by the dualism or strong contrast of its writing technique. The hero is a madman who disregard the social reality, and day dream to restore chivalry; But just like the book's description, he is very sober wise as long as with no relation with chivalry. He looks far ahead and aim high to point out problems, and subtle truth. Don Quixote still has plenty of fight, but acts like a buffoon, makes people burst out laughing. Finally, he failure to return home, and quickly wakes up to his error when come to an end. It was like a comedy, but more like a tragedy. This or that, the reader can perorate by themselves. But the translator thought that it's like what mentioned in "e;Dream of Red Mansions"e;, ridicule. Fun and curse, all into the article. People will realize the profound of the ups and humorous story. Some writers commented that Cervantes exert human's imagination maximum in "e;Don Quixote"e; and fabricate many transnormal happy encounters. Perhaps this is why the work can spread to the world. The author's extraordinary imagination has rarely been surpassed. It provides readers with a broad imagination, memorable, and also stimulate the reader's interest and imagination. It also open a new page for many writers' writing technique. Cervantes is one of the most important writer affected by Renaissance Humanism. Meanwhile, Cervantes' Don Quixote"e; also had an impact on some of the later famous writer . Defoe has proudly said Robinson has a Quixotic spirit; Fielding wrote one comedy called "e;Don Quixote in the United States"e;; Dostoyevsky said, if you want read his "e;idiot"e;, you must first read "e;Don Quixote"e;; Faulkner read "e;Don Quixote"e; once a year and claim that "e;like others read the Bible"e;. Cervantes suffer a lot in his life: had done soldiers, quartermaster, publicans, spent many years as prisoners, and be framed in jail for several times. It is said that even the "e;Don Quixote"e; is originated in prison. Author of a classic work is come to an end with not to know the whereabouts. This made person feeling more miserable. Cervantes died on April 23, with another literary giant Shakespeare. This day was made "e;World Book Day"e; United Nations. Cervantes had jokingly said that China's emperor wanted him to bring Don Quixote to China. Translator thought it expressed author's desire , and hope that this work could spread to the entire world. Because in the West's view, China is the most distant places. If it can spread to China, it means to the entire world. It is comfort for the author that his world famous and immortal masterpieces is not only the most well-known Spanish literature works in China, other countries as well. Not long ago, all over the world held a variety of activities to commemorate the anniversary of "e;Don Quixote"e; published 400th. This is reminiscent of Beethoven's birthday, singers from around the world gathered together, and simultaneous singing "e;Ode to Joy"e;. This puts up a writer or artist's vitality, an immortal spirit of a work. Now Don Quixote has become a spirit, a pronoun. There are tragic, but also pride. Some people joked that someone was Don Quixote, and there are also a lot of people to self-proud Don Quixote. In short, Don Quixote has been given a deep social significance far beyond the scope of inexist knight spirit for today.
