The Spanish translations appeared in 1605 and 1615, much earlier than the original English publications in 1612 and 1620. Between these two periods, in 1614, a “false” Don Quixote was published under the name Avellaneda. The original English text was never released.<br /><br />Francis Bacon was the brain behind the three books of Don Quixote; he wrote the part of the hero.<br />Ben Jonson took on the role of Sancho Panza, John Donne wrote the poems, “the two friends” Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher were assigned the task of writing loose stories. These authors made use of the library owned by Robert Cotton.<br />The printer, William Stansby, inserted concealed clues into the text, in order for the reader to be able to draw conclusions…<br /><br />The Spanish translations were carried out by Thomas Shelton (DQI + DQII) and James Mabbe (the “bogus” DQ).<br />Miguel de Cervantes was just a poor Spanish writer who had sold his name to survive. He had told his life-story to the English, so that it could be processed into the DQ. <br />Ten people, sworn to secrecy about their collaboration in the writing of Don Quixote. Now in this book, after four hundred years, clarity is given as to the “who”, “what” and “why” of all this secrecy.<br />In the 3 books about Don Quixote there was never mention of La Mancha, that’s a region established in 1691!! <br /><br />2) “On his adventures with Sancho Panza he comes to an inn” you say, but Sancho was not there when he was dubbed. He came later!! <br /><br />3) “The book is quick, and witty, and silly - all the things it should be,” you confess.. And that’s the way you see it, read it.. but you didn’t understand all. Doesn’t matter. Everybody enjoys it in his own way. <br /><br />general featureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02760251105642351052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901921059235480205.post-18241882837511435662023-04-15T15:48:44.403+02:002023-04-15T15:48:44.403+02:00That sounds good and I've added it to my TBR.That sounds good and I've added it to my TBR.Jinjer-The Intrepid Angelenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892279772221757519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901921059235480205.post-75333050986967982572022-08-30T00:10:03.720+02:002022-08-30T00:10:03.720+02:00That sounds good.

I didn't knew this book. <br /><br />I highly recommend drifting off the challenges a bit a read more books for pleasure here and there - it'd be sad to have reading turned into a chore ! <br />Happy that 2019 was a good year for you, here's hoping 2020 is even better! xx Happy new year!

There are people that do either the author or the book or both. I decided to just do the book based in the country. IT has been very challenging and fun! I have read about 130 countries to date.

As an author, I’m always looking for book reviews, but that’s even more important now, since the third book in my middle-grade series, Ghosters 3: The Secrets of the Bloody Tower, has just come out. So, I’ve come to you. Would you be interested in reading it and writing me an honest review? I can send you any version of e-book or paperback, if that’s what you prefer.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Diana Corbitt<br />https://www.dianacorbitt.com/GhostersWriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590055558566726367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901921059235480205.post-78171004623573825432019-11-21T11:46:43.454+01:002019-11-21T11:46:43.454+01:00I am glad to see I am not the only one!
