Don Quixote

Author's name: Cervantes Publisher: Dar Al-Mada for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2021 Literary classification: Literature - Eternal Works Brief about the book: Don Quixote embodies the example, and the abstract values: it is the ideal side of existence, which the realistic side overcomes, and the struggle between the two sides remains connected, the victory of reality over the ideal not continuously breaking its strength. And from here comes this living dialectic that represents each of the two sides, the knight Don Quixote and the squire Sancho Panza. Therefore, the story of Don Quixote "is the story of existence itself with its two opposing, conflicting, and disputing poles, and from their conflict the dialectic of existence is composed; and the character of Don Quixote is among the highest human models, alongside Prometheus, Faust, Hamlet, and Don Juan. Don Quixote represents the spirit of man, while his companion Sancho Panza represents the body of man, this authentic companion of the spirit.
