About this ebook

The adventures of Don Quixote, the famous knight errant, and his lady-love, Dulcinea del Toboso that Miguel de Cervantes portrays in his epic novel, The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha; and made more famous by countless adaptations featured in movies and theatrical musical productions of that singular masterpiece reflective of the human condition has captured the imagination of generations throughout the world. Don Quixotes Impossible Dream: To Everyman His Dulcinea, by David P. Grzan, has elevated the notion of chivalric love, in the fairest terms, which Don Quixote advanced to the honor and esteem of Dulcinea, his true love, the quest of his impossible dream.

Love, the most powerful force in the universe, has been the primary inspiration that has propelled all the Don Quixotes, known and unknown that have ever lived, in their attempt to accomplish great deeds in the name of their particular Dulcinea. This epic poem immortalizes the triumphs, tragedies, obstacles, struggles and courage that can accompany and at other times can thwart the greatest of all prizes, love, in the context of the infinite profoundness and complexity of the human dynamic, which is sublimely represented and exemplified by the relationship between Don Quixote and Dulcinea.

Author

David P. Grzan

David P. Grzan is married, has four lovely children and lives in Orono, Minnesota. He holds two postgraduate degrees and is a devotee of the Humanities. David has a deeply personal affinity for Cervantes epic, which provided the framework for him to write his own project predicated on the ideals espoused by the character of Don Quixote. To the famous adventures of Don Quixote, the eccentric knight errant, is added new scholarship which concentrates on the knight’s relationship with lady love Dulcinea del Toboso in David P. Grzan ’s Don Quixote’s Impossible Dream: To Everyman His Dulcinea, To Every Woman Her Don Quixote. In Miguel Cervantes’ epic, Dulcinea is the constant star that shined over Quixote’s misadventures along the length and breadth of Spain. Love was the truth that kept Don Quixote going in his pursuit of establishing himself as one of the great knights of chivalric love. Conspicuously, Quixote’s honor has been satirically crossed by the literary firmament rendered in Cervantes’ picaresque; whereas Grzan ’s anamorphic recomposition of the epic triumphantly reveals the greatest knight of chivalric love, Don Quixote. In fine, this opus stands as a candid testimony of my especial gratitude for which I recognize upon my parents, while also demonstrating to my children a bevy of adoptable precepts, well-trodden, for a happy life; and, perchance to unite my family and friends, both in practice and spirit, by the notion that we can never overdignify an unqualified charitable respect for one another. Now to the purpose of this metaphrastic interpretation Don Quixote’s Impossible Dream enciphered in an excursive tribute, which is tethered gravitationally to its primary antecedent, like to a celestial system, orbiting about a common center; my life’s dénouement, which expresses the inexpressible love embedded in my soul for the one I love. In full-view of that love I have faithfully set down in uncut words this valentine dedicated to my indescribable Dulcinea, for whom I take a privileged care to describe—that the entire world shall know her now and forever. My Dulcinea has provided me with nothing less than the truest and deepest inspiration for the idiosyncratic impartment of my soul, duly delivered in this love-poem. Had it not been for her, I would, undoubtedly still be tilting at windmills.
