On 15 December 2005, I gave a lecture <\/a>in the Dominican Republic on \u2018Don Quixote de la Mancha: Content and Journey\u2019, as part of the celebrations marking the 400th anniversary of the publication of the first part of Don Quixote<\/em>, an event which was reviewed in the local press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2008, I gave this lecture again at the Centre for Senior Citizens (CSM) in London to mark International Book Day, after which Lourdes Rem\u00f3n<\/strong>, the head of the Language and Culture Group, sent me a heartfelt thank-you email<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Don Quixote of La Mancha: Content and Journey<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Cervantes<\/strong><\/a> (1547\u20131616) is perhaps the greatest figure in Castilian and Spanish literature. Of all the works he wrote, one clearly stands out: the novel The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote<\/strong> of La Mancha<\/em><\/a>, known as Don Quixote<\/em>.<\/p>\n
