		Don Quixote is often called the first modern novel.
		Critics have debated the question of whether Cervantes's intention in Don Quixote was to ridicule the chivalric romances-which typically featured knights accomplishing the most impossible things-that were so popular in the Middle Ages.
		The names of the main characters in the novel are not stable: for example, Don Quixote is variously called Quixada, Quesana, Quixana, Quixote, Jigote, Knight of the Mournful Countenance, and Knight of the Lions; Sancho's wife is known as Juana Guti?rrez, Mari Guti?rrez, Teresa Cascajo, Teresa Panza or Teresa Sancho, Teresaina, and Teresona.

		Since Don Quixote is a novel and is written in prose (the language of common, everyday speech), it might seem easier to translate than a work written in poetic form such as The Iliad or The Divine Comedy.
		A modern English reader can easily miss the point being made here: that Don Quixote is descended from a noble family although, as the details in the rest of the sentence suggest, his family has greatly declined.
		The purpose of this sentence is to show that although Don Quixote was born a nobleman, he really doesn't have much money; the foods described cost very little to prepare.

		"Don Quixote" by Cervantes is a novel that Aubrey Bell once said should be read "in youth, middle age, and old age." Having read it twice now, that just leaves 'old age' for me. [Maybe?] However, I do not believe that this is the greatest novel of all time, as has been professed by many.
		Don Quixote is a magnificent novel; and a somewhat delightfully humorous one at that: However, it does take patience, and the right translation will save you much aggravation.

		Don Quixote went from a man who was laughed and scoffed at in the beginning of the novel, into a man who was well-respected and admired for his bravery.
		The greatest moral one can take from this book is to appreciate the Don's bravery, and see that even though the Don may have believed deep-down inside that his many adventures would not be victorious, it was his attempt in the face of defeat that makes him the hero he was.
