Cervantes Publishes Don Quixote Part Two
1615
Ten years after the first volume and goaded by a fraudulent sequel, Cervantes published the second part of his masterpiece. The aging Quixote, now aware of his own fame, moves through a world where fiction and reality have started to contaminate each other. It is funnier, darker, and unmistakably modern.
