Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, Vol. 2 of 2
I suspect thou wilt say that I am taking a very humble line, and keeping myself too much within the bounds of my modera tion, from a feeling that additional suffering should not be in?icted upon a sufferer, and that what this gentleman has to endure must doubtless be very great, as he does not dare to come out into the open field and broad daylight, but hides his name and disguises his country as if he had been guilty of some lese majesty. If perchance thou shouldst come to know him, tell him from me that I do not hold myself aggrieved; for I know well what the temptations of the devil are, and that one of the greatest is putting it into a man's head that he can write and print a book by which he will get as much fame as money, and as much money as fame; and to prove it I will beg of you, in your own sprightly, pleasant way, to tell him this story.
