The result was a book that pushed the limits of creativity, subverting every tradition and convention. Instead of a rancorous indictment of a decaying Spain that had rejected and censored him, Cervantes invented a tour de force as playful and ironic as it was multifaceted, laying the ground for all the wild experiments the novelistic genre was to undergo.<br \/>\nCervantes realized that we are all madmen constantly outpaced by history, fragile humans shackled to bodies that are doomed to eat and sleep, make love and die, made ridiculous and also glorious by the ideals we harbor. To put it bluntly, he discovered the vast psychological and social territory of the ambiguous modern condition. Captives of a harsh and unyielding reality, we are also simultaneously graced by the constant ability to surpass its battering blows.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entre las muchas razones est\u00e1 la que escribi\u00f3 Ariel Dorfman en su rese\u00f1a de la novela Don Quijote de la Mancha: &#8220;In Exile with Don Quixote.&#8221; Este a\u00f1o se celebra el 400 aniversario de la muerte del gran autor y el se\u00f1or Dorfman escribe sobre sus recuerdos de leer la novela como comunidad durante los &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/hispanic-studies\/2016\/10\/10\/por-que-leemos\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 leemos?<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,8,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-en-las-noticias","category-fuera-de-clase","category-litertura"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/hispanic-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/hispanic-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/hispanic-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/hispanic-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/hispanic-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1653"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/hispanic-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1653\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1656,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/hispanic-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1653\/revisions\/1656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/hispanic-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/hispanic-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/hispanic-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
