Commentary | Alsemo, while writing a letter about his own story, dies; the corpse is found by a friend "y hallóle tendido boca abajo, la mitad del cuerpo en la cama y la otra mitad sobre el bufete, sobre el cual estaba con el papel escrito y abierto, y él tenía áun la pluma en la mano" (35:1).
Accurate to Cervantes' text. Good drawing. |
