El Quijote de Wellesley / Wellesley?s Quixote

Javier Marias

Las notas ineditas escritas por Javier Marias para una clase magistral sobre el Quijote impartida en Wellesley College, Massachussetts, en 1984. 2016 ANO CERVANTES El Quijote de Wellesley es una mirada inedita y magistral de Javier Marias sobre la obra mas importante escrita nunca en espanol.
Cabe la posibilidad de que algunos lectores de hoy se animen a leer el Quijote en la compania de aquel semijoven de treinta y tres anos, de manera parecida a como lo hicieron aquellas alumnas de Wellesley.
Estas notas lo recorren casi capitulo a capitulo, aunque en algunos momentos me extendi mucho, y llegue a escribir #minitextos# articulados, y en otros poco o nada. Lo que se ve a las claras es cuales fueron mis intereses en aquella lectura, y cuales son mis motivos para considerar esa novela la mas rica y compleja que jamas se haya escrito. Me temo que esos motivos mios no coinciden demasiado con los de la mayoria de mis colegas novelistas, preteritos o contemporaneos. Si algo prueba la vigencia del Quijote es la infinita cantidad de lecturas que de el pueden hacerse, a menudo opuestas o contradictorias. Esta es la mia, que no ha variado sustancialmente desde 1984. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The previously unpublished notes written by Javier Marias for a master class about Don Quixote given at Wellesley College, Massachussetts, in 1984. 2016 The Year of Cervantes Wellesley’s Quixote is a previously unpublished, masterful look by Javier Marias at the most important work ever written in Spanish.
It is possible that some of today’s readers are motivated to read Don Quixote in the company of that 33-year-old young man, similarly to the way those students at Wellesley did.
These notes cover the book almost chapter by chapter, although in some moments I elaborated more, and ended up writing articulated ‘minitexts’, and in other instances little or nothing. What you can clearly see are my interests in that reading, and my motives for considering that novel the richest and most complex work ever written. I’m afraid that those motives of mine don’t coincide too much with those of the majority of my novelist colleagues, both past and current. If anything proves the validity of the Quixote, it’s the infinite number of readings that can be done of it, frequently opposing or contradictory. This is mine, which hasn’t varied substantially since 1984.
