El Verano de Cervantes (Memoria Literaria) / The Summer of Cervantes (Literary Memoir) [Spanish]

Toda una vida leyendo Don Quijote.


Mu oz Molina no defrauda, la suya es una escritura cautivadora que aboca a quien lee a zambullirse en las p ginas, a apropi rselas en cierta manera. El alma humana tiene quien le escriba. Mey Zamora, Cultura/s, La Vanguardia


Un narrador poderoso que echa luz sobre los entresijos morales de nuestra sociedad. Santos Sanz Villanueva, El Cultural


Una enorme sensibilidad, una prosa hermos sima y una elegancia que solo est al alcance de los grandes narradores. Eva Cosculluela, Heraldo de Arag n


El verano de Cervantes surge de toda una vida leyendo Don Quijote de la Mancha. Durante el proceso de escritura de este libro, Antonio Mu oz Molina va entreverando recuerdos de su infancia y de sus primeras lecturas con la revelaci n del lugar que Don Quijote ha ocupado en su vocaci n literaria, mostrando adem s su influencia en otros autores, como Melville, Balzac, Joyce, Thomas Mann o Mark Twain, que han consolidado la novela como la forma narrativa suprema siguiendo la estela de Cervantes.


Una lectura apasionante y apasionada de Don Quijote que mezcla de forma extraordinaria investigaci n literaria y memoria personal, y que contextualiza la genialidad de la obra maestra de Cervantes, lectura inagotable para entender el arte de la novela.


En palabras del propio Mu oz Molina, un tema central en la novela es el modo en que las ficciones afectan a la mente humana, la nutren, la entretienen y pueden trastornarla cuando no sabe distinguirlas de la realidad. Esta inquietud me parece m s pertinente a n en estos tiempos en que tecnolog as mucho m s poderosas que la imprenta tienen el poder de hipnotizar nuestras mentes hasta un grado de delirio. Despu s de toda una vida leyendo Don Quijote, me gustar a que este libro pueda acompa ar a otros en sus propias lecturas .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A lifetime spent reading Don Quixote.


"Mu oz Molina never disappoints--his captivating prose draws readers in, inviting them to dive into the pages and make them their own. The human soul has found its writer." Mey Zamora, Cultura/s, La Vanguardia


"A powerful storyteller who sheds light on the moral intricacies of our society." Santos Sanz Villanueva, El Cultural


"Immense sensitivity, exquisite prose, and an elegance reserved for the greatest narrators." Eva Cosculluela, Heraldo de Arag n


El verano de Cervantes was born from a lifetime spent reading Don Quixote de la Mancha. While writing this book, Antonio Mu oz Molina weaves together childhood memories and early reading experiences with reflections on the role Don Quixote has played in shaping his literary vocation. He also explores its influence on authors such as Melville, Balzac, Joyce, Thomas Mann, and Mark Twain--writers who helped establish the novel as the supreme narrative form, following in Cervantes's footsteps.


A passionate and deeply personal reading of Don Quixote that brilliantly blends literary research and memoir, offering fresh context for Cervantes's masterpiece--an inexhaustible work for understanding the art of the novel.


In Mu oz Molina's own words: "A central theme in the novel is how fiction affects the human mind--nourishing it, entertaining it, and potentially disturbing it when we fail to distinguish it from reality. This concern feels even more relevant today, when technologies far more powerful than the printing press have the ability to hypnotize our minds to the point of delirium. After a lifetime of reading Don Quixote, I hope this book can accompany others in their own journeys through its pages."
