Mit grandiosem Einfallsreichtum erzählt Cervantes von den Abenteuern des verarmten Adligen, der in einer Traumwelt vergangener Ritterzeiten lebt, und seines treuen Waffenträgers Sancho Pansa. Ähnlich wie Goethes Faust für die Deutschen ist Don Quijote für die Spanier zum Sinnbild eines nationalen Genius geworden. Die Sympathie des Erzählers für seine Figuren und sein liebevoll-ironischer Ton machen Don Quijote zum wunderbarsten Antihelden der ...

Composed throughout Cervantes's writing life and mentioned in Don Quixote, his Exemplary Stories are among the first and finest Spanish short stories: ranging from traditional tales of love to incisive moral fables. In The Little Gipsy Girl, an Italianate romance, the nomadic life is idealised through a love affair between the beautiful Preciosa and a nobleman who agrees to live as a gipsy to win her heart.
