| Don Quixote (1605) |
Don Quixote is a book full of wisdom and funny situations that cause people's attraction. But it seems that really few readers perceive the intense power of the intelligent characterization of this knight-errant in the sad figure of a madman with horrific hallucinations. I reckon that in those times when it was published, firstly after having read it and laughed a lot and enjoyed commenting on it, people began to feel ashamed to perform acts of bravery and to fear that the rest might laugh at them too. Thus, this book filled the brave souls of some people with the main antidote to courage: insecurity.
