Excerpt from The Coraddi, Vol. 30: May, 1926Don Quixote is, primarily, a book to be read. It may be criticized, discussed, studied, argued about, written about, but so may any million other books. The difference is that while the horribly innumerable others are good enough to be used for literary, critical essays, for moralizing, for university courses, for learned dissertations, they are not books to be read, and read lovingly. Don Quixote, with preciously few others, is. No doubt that Cervantes began the novel with the purpose of ousting the absurd books of chivalry from their popularity. But he was too vital a man to be obsessed long with a corrective ide'a. He continued the book, primarily because he had fun in doing it, and people have turned to it for genera tions because they have fun in reading it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
