En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme....
So that is how the novel "El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha" starts. It tells the adventures of the errant-knight Don Quijote, that formerly was Alonso Quijana o Quesada and became crazy because of reading so many books about chivalry. Along with him is Sancho Panza, the voide of logic and his faithful sidekick.
"El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha" is considered as the first modern novel and work of fiction in Western culture, and certainly the most influential non-religious book of all time. Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra invented, in this book, concepts like the sidekick, the comic relief, the ethical dilemma, the psychological perspective and the character development.
The novel was recently voted The Greatest Book of All Time by the Nobel Institute (yes, the same one that concedes the Nobel prize). EAT THAT SHAKESPEARE!
The importance of "Don Quijote" in the culture of mankind comes naturally, after all, Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world, after the Mandarin Chinese.
In the pic, you have your favourite nutty as Don Quijote (Rodrigote) mounting (no double entendre, plz) his faithful mare Kim. Rodrigote is followed closely by his sidekick Sancho Rufus, who himself is mounting his Ronkey.
That's what I call a ride!!! Kimmunicator!!! Well done, it's a beautiful drawing as usual. Very clever drawing, cause we're all used to see Kim like a centaur, but you managed to morph her with a horse, as well as Ron!!! Now that's a great tribute to El Manco and to the Spanish tongue in general. I haven't read the Quixote, maybe some day I'll do it cause it's a must read for Spanish speakers. Regarding the windmills... is that any metaphore in your own life?
Thanks Jeep! Yeah, I'm enjoying the ride! The Kimmunicator adds a touch of "this mare was not always a mare" It took me a while to make the horse anatomy correct and adapted to the style of the series.
Why do you think there is a metaphore in my life because of the windmills?
What do you perceive? Am I that nutty?

Ingenious idea! I've tried to read DQ several times but can't make it past the part where he and Sancho spend the night at an inn that the knight believes to be a castle. Maybe it's just a matter of finding the right translation.

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
