 Miscelanea II of studies dedicated to Fernando Ortiz
Ortiz, born Fernando Ortiz Fernández, is now known as the Tercer Descubridor (Third Discoverer) of Cuba, following Christopher Columbus and Alexander von Humboldt, and he is referred to under his pen name of Fernando Ortiz and/or the honorific title Don Fernando.
At this writing, the Archivo de Fernando Ortiz is housed in approximately six hundred lots containing, among a wide variety of items, originals of articles cited or used in his publications, illustrations from many different sources, and notebooks where various interview subjects recorded data about their traditions, legends, religious ceremonies, medical practices, and symbols.
In embarking on these research efforts in the late twentieth century, we have found it quite humbling to be surrounded by the presence of Ortiz, an untiring intellect and a giant of a man whose work had profound effects on the identity of his nation and on the understanding of developing cultures in the Americas.

As the respected translator of many of Latin America's finest writers (among them Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Carlos Fuentes and Mario Vargas Llosa), she is well suited to the task, and her translation is admirably readable and consistent while managing to retain the vigor, sly humor and colloquial playfulness of the Spanish.
She manages to maintain the feel of the language Cervantes wrote in (as far as I can tell) yet her translation, as the NY Times reviewer noted, is as readable as the latest novel from Philip Roth.
Don Quixote has been translated often, in recent, times but it was never as elegantly as Grossman has.

In Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, Cervantes gave, and continues to give two of the most beautifully rendered personalities, whom you come to know and treasure, and whose names will be "written in the book of fame for all future ages".
Don Quixote by Cervantes is often called the first modern novel and many rate it as one of the best novels ever written in any language.
The plot and sub-plots are primarily guided by Don Quixote's obsession with knight-errantly, forming acts to chivalry and participating in adventures in a manner he read in such books.

 Unheard Beethoven Search   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Hess 114 is an additional recitative for Don Fernando which appears in the score for the 1823 revival of Fidelio in Dresden.
Assuming that it is by Beethoven (and musically, it seems likely to be his), then it is not clear whether this is part of the 1814 revision of Fidelio which was cut (or mistakenly omitted from the score), or whether it is a later addition to the score.
There was a shorter and less interesting recitative given to Don Fernando in the 1806 version of Leonore (Hess 110); this may be a transitional phase between the 1806 version and the elimination of the recitative altogether (if such was intended) in the 1814 version published by Artaria.
