Cervantes and Don Quixote: 1605-2006
January 23 – March 11, 2006

When Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616) published El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha in 1605 at the age of 57, it marked the highlight of a career filled with both adventure and misfortune. Using his own life as partial inspiration, Cervantes created a masterpiece in Don Quixote, the story of an ordinary (although perhaps crazy) Spaniard who, obsessed with stories of knights errant, renames himself Don Quixote and wanders through Spain with his squire Sancho Panzo in search of adventure. In the 400-plus years since it was first published, Don Quixote has continued to capture the imagination of its readers, and has been illustrated, translated, and adapted in a variety of ways.
