Sancho's Golden Age - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Sancho's Golden Age is a sequel to Don Quixote, and the tale of the adventures of Sancho Panza, the knight's faithful squire. After Don Quixote's death Sancho has been unable to settle back into his former life. He longs for more romance than reality can supply. During their final journey home Don Quixote and Sancho had considered replacing their failed chivalric ideal with another - the pastoral life. They spoke of reinventing themselves as poetic Arcadian shepherds. They would live as if in the Golden Age with Dulcinea transformed into a perfect shepherdess. Don Quixote died before they could put their joint plan into practice but now Sancho can't resist the urge to try it for himself. The result is comic and disastrous but eventually Sancho, against all the odds, is rewarded with his own ideal Dulcinea - in reality not fantasy.
Much of the story is related by Rocinante, the knight's old horse, and Rucio, the squire's donkey. Naturally both animals are full of horse sense and, thanks to their previous experiences, acutely aware of the gap between fact and fiction.
