Once the work, what the author or artist do? A book, whatever it is, is a child of spirit that seeks a little place even in the “mansion of oblivion” if not a place of renown in the memory of nations. This never know. He did not know of his Cervantes Don Quixote. A prologue seems to be the last touch, not to say some words of rigor. However, in the illustrious “Manco de Lepanto” opinion, the pages that precede the narration were harder to write that same text. “Because I know say that although (the novel) cost me some composing work, none had wholesale to do this preface you are reading … not knowing what to write”.
But you have to say something , so they do not join the silence of others the author, just in case. The conspiracy of this kind is the capital punishment in literature. Containing? How did we do it? For what purpose or hope it is published? These are questions that are at the forefront, and we must answer in some way. Cervantes could not escape this contingency, the same that comes not so much the book and cultural tradition in vogue. As to what he thinks of himself and his Don Quixote, Cervantes writes a brief prologue, just two leaves, to say a few things in strict coherence with what I felt then and the future they envisioned ahead.

There are books that are written by relief; one written once, do not need anything else. Others are intended expressly to the reader, seeking disseminated to the public, either by vanity or interest of economic return. In any case, the books have their own destiny, no matter what it expects the author. Cervantes demonstrates an explicit intention when addressing the “free reader” to say that Don Quixote is “the father in jail” and bears the stamp of “sterile and poorly cultivated my wit.” It does not say, but it is undeniable that writes considering the plethora of talent as Lope de Vega, Gongora, Gracian, Calderon de la Barca, glow-in-the highest peak of the literary reputation of his time, the Golden Age. like them or better than them, he had to write Cervantes to survive. We do not believe that he had assumed a false attitude of modesty by stating “… go now with all my years in tow, with a dry legend as a Esparto, oblivious of invention, diminished style, poor concepts and lack of erudition and doctrine … although I seem father, I stepfather that I am ugly and without grace son called Don Quixote “. Nor it served him know what is missing, because I could not help it “for my failure and few letters.” Few letters says of himself the greatest man of letters!

This view of extreme skepticism had a double source: that originated in his own life “andariega and painful” and coming from the hostile environment around him. Bolivia is in a great writer who remembers the attitude of Cervantes. “I as a writer worthless, said Alcides Arguedas …”.
A rare, extremely rare, is an author decides to return to his work to write a sequel, after 10 years, and publish almost when the stirrup for departure. At 68 rushes that company Cervantes. ¿Second parts are never good? It is a singular exception of the author of Don Quixote that, according to critics, extent and quality exceeds the first part.
Well, there is also a “Preface to the Reader”. an apocryphal second part of Don Quixote as version appears in 1614; the author, underhanded under the pseudonym Alonso Fernández de Avellaneda. It is suspected until today Lope de Vega, but never said it really was him; could be at least an instigator, says a Spanish writer. It is not known with certainty if imitation was the only reason that led to write the second part or other factors mixed it less visible, but also of considerable weight. Cervantes discovered in the way the potentiality of his character, says Arturo Uslar Pietre. He could have been omitted, demanding, demanding, that complementary part. After the “ignominious” manchego hero to defeat a false knight returns to his village with sadness weighing him as an ominous burden on the back. It will no longer go through any way of the land; but he found the immortality, without time or espacio.
