On 23rd April we celebrate de World Book Day.
Remember it's said that Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare died on that same day in 1616. Although that is not exactly the truth, that is the day chosen for such a celebration.
We would like to contribute with our humble work.
Here you are our translations into English of the last part of "Don Quixote". We hope you enjoy the reading and post your vote for the one you like best.
““Y con esto cumplirás con tu cristiana profesión, aconsejando bien a
quien mal te quiere y yo quedaré
satisfecho y ufano de haber sido el primero que gozó el fruto de sus escritos
enteramente, como deseaba, pues no ha sido otro mi deseo que poner en aborrecimiento
de los hombres las fingidas y disparatadas historias de los libros de
caballerías, que por la de mi verdadero Don Quijote van ya tropezando y han de
caer del todo sin duda alguna”. Vale”.
