I was fascinated by Cide Hamete Benengali, the Moorish scholar who wrote down the history of Don Quixote in Arabic. I also found the Bachelor Sansón Carrasco to be an interesting character. Isn't it amazing that he announced the study of Don Quixote at his school in Salamanca?
I would love to study this book and make more comments, but I had to return the book to the library. When I can get my own copy, I can highlight and comment to my heart's content. I may live in the dark ages, but I am not yet into downloading books onto Kindle or Nook I like those hard copies!
I HIGHLY recommend Edith Grossman's translation of Don Quixote.
