Its funny that the author puts down the play, The Man of La Mancha, while describing the importance of the text. The play is elegant and created great works of its own like “The impossible dream” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Impossible_Dream_(The_Quest) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Impossible_Dream_(The_Ques...) which I would argue distills of the most poignant points about living a good life.
Honestly, I barely remember Don Quixote but the lyrics to the Impossible Dream I can easily recall.
- stan_rogers 5y agoPerhaps, but Man of La Mancha misses the whole point of the novel. Alonzo Quixano was not a noble man - translated into today's world, he'd be a full-on QAnon type.
- smackeyacky 5y agoI found the play more of a meta comment on the book, as if it was deliberately misrepresented to make fun of the audience.
