Televisión Española, the State TV network, produced several magnificent TV series some years ago, before competition from commercial channels forced the state monopoly down to gutter levels.
By what name was El Quijote de Miguel de Cervantes (1991) officially released in Canada in English?
A self-proclaimed "knight" and his hapless squire travel the Spanish countryside, attacking "giants" that are really windmills in his attempt to win the love of the fair Dulcinea.
Second of four Don Quixote films featuring Fernando Rey in some role. In this one, the played the Duke. He was previously in Don Quijote de la Mancha (1947) and would later be in El Quijote de Miguel de Cervantes (1991) and Don Quijote de Orson Welles (1992).
Sancho is a poor and simple farmer but more practical than the head-in-the-clouds Don Quixote and agrees to the offer, sneaking away with Don Quixote in the early dawn. It is here that their famous adventures begin, starting with Don Quixote's attack on windmills that he believes to be ferocious giants.
The plot revolves around the adventures of a noble ( hidalgo) from La Mancha named Alonso Quixano, who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his mind and decides to become a knight-errant ( caballero andante) to revive chivalry and serve his nation, under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha.
Having created a lasting false premise for them, Sancho later gets his comeuppance for this when, as part of one of the Duke and Duchess's pranks, the two are led to believe that the only method to release Dulcinea from this spell (if among possibilities under consideration, she has been changed rather than Don Quixote's perception has been enchanted - which at one point he explains is not possible however) is for Sancho to give himself three thousand three hundred lashes. Sancho naturally resists this course of action, leading to friction with his master. Under the Duke's patronage, Sancho eventually gets a governorship, though it is false, and he proves to be a wise and practical ruler although this ends in humiliation as well. Near the end, Don Quixote reluctantly sways towards sanity.
For Cervantes and the readers of his day, Don Quixote was a one-volume book published in 1605, divided internally into four parts, not the first part of a two-part set. The mention in the 1605 book of further adventures yet to be told was totally conventional, does not indicate any authorial plans for a continuation, and was not taken seriously by the book's first readers.
In the course of their travels, the protagonists meet innkeepers, prostitutes, goat-herders, soldiers, priests, escaped convicts and scorned lovers. The aforementioned characters sometimes tell tales that incorporate events from the real world. Their encounters are magnified by Don Quixote's imagination into chivalrous quests. Don Quixote's tendency to intervene violently in matters irrelevant to himself, and his habit of not paying debts, result in privations, injuries, and humiliations (with Sancho often the victim). Finally, Don Quixote is persuaded to return to his home village. The narrator hints that there was a third quest, but says that records of it have been lost.

Don Quixote is given a bed in a former hayloft, and Sancho sleeps on the rug next to the bed; they share the loft with a muleteer. When night comes, Don Quixote imagines the servant girl at the inn, Helen, to be a beautiful princess, and makes her sit on his bed with him, scaring her.
L’Ingénieux Hidalgo Don Quichotte de la Manche ou L'Ingénieux Noble Don Quichotte de la Manche (titre original en espagnol El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha ; en espagnol moderne : El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha) est un roman écrit par Miguel de Cervantes et publié à Madrid en deux parties, la première en 1605 puis la seconde en 1615 .
L’ anglais a jusqu'à nos jours conservé la graphie d’époque ( Don Quixote) mais actuellement les locuteurs anglophones prononcent généralement le mot en tentant une prononciation proche de la prononciation espagnole moderne ( don Quijote ), ce qui donne, avec un accent anglais, /dɒŋ kiːˈhoʊteɪ/, même si la prononciation traditionnelle en suivant les sons des lettres en anglais, avec le x prononcé à l'anglaise, est parfois encore utilisée, résultant en /kwɪksət/ ou /ˈkwɪksoʊt/. Le portugais Dom Quixote et le catalan Don Quixot n’ont presque rien changé graphiquement, car la prononciation de x reste dans ces deux langues celle du XVIIe siècle dans de nombreux termes : [ʃ].
En fait, Don Quichotte et Sancho sont considérés comme deux bouffons dont le séjour au château a pour objectif de divertir le duc et la duchesse. De manière subtile mais impitoyable, les châtelains organisent une série de farces qui ridiculisent les deux protagonistes qui, malgré tout, font confiance jusqu'au bout à leurs hôtes. Seul l'aumônier du château rejette en bloc le spectacle et blâme Don Quichotte pour son manque de sagesse.
Selon Ruth Fine, spécialiste de Cervantès, le choix de ce narrateur fictif est un hommage voilé à Averroès, philosophe musulman andalou et traducteur d' Aristote du XIIe siècle .
