ABSTRACT
One day, without warning, Don Quixote cut the umbilical cord tying him to his nurturing books, and set out to roam the countryside, conceiving “the strangest notion that every madman in this world hit upon, and that was that he fancied […] that he should make a knight-errant of himself, roaming the world over […] in quest of adventures, and putting in practice himself all that he had read of as being the usual practices of knights-errant” (Tissier, 1984, pp. 197–235).
