Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, Vol. 2 In sending to your Excellency, a short time past, my Comedies - printed before being performed - I said, if my memory serves me, that "Don Quixote was waiting, with boots ready spurred to go and pay his respects to your Excellency." I now announce that he has donned them and is already on the way; and should he arrive, it appears to me that he will have done your Excellency a service, for great pressure is put upon me to send him, by people in the remotest parts, that they may get quit of the disgust and nausea caused by another Don Quixote, who, disguising himself under the name of the Second Part has been perambulating the world. And he who has the most manifested a desire for him is the Great Emperor of China, for it is but a month ago that he wrote me a despatch in the Chinese language by an express, begging or rather supplicating me to send him off, inasmuch as he desired to found a college in which the Castilian language should be read, and was anxious that the book there to he read should be the History of Don Quixote: in addition to which he declared that I was to be the Rector of the said college. I inquired of the messenger if his Majesty had given him any assistance for me towards the expense; he replied that he had not thought of any such thing.
