Why should you read 'Don Quixote'? - Ilan Stavans

Mounting his skinny steed, Don Quixote charges an army of giants. It is his duty to vanquish these behemoths in the name of his beloved lady, Dulcinea. There’s only one problem: the giants are merely windmills. What is it about this tale of the clumsy yet valiant knight that makes it so beloved? Ilan Stavans investigates.

Lesson by Ilan Stavans, directed by Avi Ofer.

I first read Don Quixote when I was fifteen, I have reread it every five years and the novel keeps changing as I pass through life. I am sixty nine and look forward to reading my old friend next year. It's true meaning is almost within grasp.

As someone who only started playing a day ago, how long until the Limbus Company Brainrot takes me over completely

[corvuscorax]

My name is Sancho!
And I, Sancho, declare upon my honor: this lance shall end that festering, slothful dream!
No matter how impossible it may be...
Until i reach that dream...
I'll keep pushing to the--
Nay... I shall gallop ever-onward, unbroken, unrelenting to the end!!

I was going into this video expecting a few Limbus Company comments at best, but there is a plenty.

Do you carry a dream, Manager Esquire? Verily, I do!

[wiseanchovy]

Good explanation... but the animation is what really takes the cake. Very very cute

"Don Quixote argues that our _imagination_ greatly informs our actions, making us _capable of change_, and, indeed, making us HUMAN"

As a Project Moon fans who finished Canto VII of Limbus Company recently, this line hits me so much. Shout out to Miguel de Carvantes for the original story and also to Project Moon who successfully adapting such an amazing story into a masterpiece game.

"An elderly man goes insane reading comic books and becomes convinced he is a superhero." - basically the premise of the bestselling book of all time.

Spanish, had to read Don Quijote de la Mancha last year for my literature class and let me tell you something: it’s beautiful. I cried so much when I finished the book... it makes you want to live according to your moral code, doing good and being yourself. The ending is bittersweet: sad ending for a good story, but isn’t life like that?
