Don Quixote: Legacy of a Classic

This program weaves art, music, and literature with Western culture to explore the enormous impact of Cervantes’ classic on our world today. Artists, critics, and others, from novelist Carlos Fuentes to General Norman Schwarzkopf, reveal how the work—the most translated in history—has affected their lives. Mixing discussions of the text with music, poems, other writings influenced by Don Quixote, and clips from the many film versions of the work, the program explores the conflict between imagination and reality, masculine and feminine attitudes toward love, and other themes. This is a rich resource for the study of Don Quixote and of the influence of art on life. Original BBC broadcast title: The Further Adventures of Don Quixote. (58 minutes)
