| Commentary | When don Quixote wakes up and sees Sancho still sleeping, he exclaims: "¡Oh tú, bienaventurado sobre cuantos viven sobre la haz de la tierra, pues sin tener invidia ni ser invidiado, duermes con sosegado espíritu [...]!" (20:2).
Johannot selects details from Cervantes' text with great originality. |
