Alonso Quijano
Alonso Quijano (; spelled Quixano in English and in the Spanish of Cervantes' day, ) is the personal name of the famous fictional hidalgo (lowest nobility caste) who is better known as Don Quijote, a name he invents after either falling into or feigning insanity. Alonso Quijano/Don Quijote is the leading character of the 1605/1615 novel '' Don Quijote de la Mancha'', written by Miguel de Cervantes. At the outset of the work (Chapter 1 of Part I) we are informed that there is confusion about what his name is. Some (imaginary) authors, the text says, disagree about whether his name was Quijada ("jaw") or Quesada, although by reasoning ("conjeturas verosímiles") one could arrive at the name Quijana.

In Chapter 49 of Part I he tells us that he was a direct descendant of Gutierre Quijada. His "r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
