Chapter 366 The Unlucky Cervantes

When the audience in the live broadcast heard the old man's narration, their hearts were full of complaints about the darkness of that era.

"This king and the Holy See are really disgusting."

"That's right, this is typical of not treating people as human beings."

"What the old man said is really correct. In the dark age, there is no hope for the emergence of light."

"I've read that Don Quixote book. I thought it was a chivalric fantasy novel. It was quite exciting when I read it. I didn't expect it to have such a real meaning."

"No wonder that fantasy was so crazy. He put all the anger that he couldn't vent in his heart into that madness."

"This Don Quixote by Cervantes is known as one of the treasures of the literary world, presumably because it is the first modern novel, and the second is that this book is filled with the once invincible and unyielding spirit in his heart." Be brave."

Although hundreds of years have passed, audiences today cannot appreciate the darkness of that era.

But just listening to the deeds of Seti Vance told by the old man, this heroic man is really admirable.

……

When Ye Qing talked about redemption, he looked at the expressions of the children.

After all, the pattern of these children is small.

Thought that was the end?
Seti Vance suffered more than that.

"He was redeemed by his relatives and friends for his country. He was a hero but he was not treated as a hero. After returning, he was still not valued by the king. His work was even more complicated, and because of his work, he suffered many times. Unexpected disaster, arrested and sent to prison."

After Ye Qing finished speaking, his face was full of sarcasm, and he took a deep breath into his chest and let it out.

"Guess when the boy wrote Don Quixote."

"40 years old?"

"45 years old?"

"Neither is right."

Ye Qing shook his head, picked up his cup and took a sip of tea.

"It was in his 50s, when he was in prison again, where he conceived the novel and started writing it."

The idea of ​​Don Quixote's story is not the inspiration that Cervantes got from his own life experience.

Immersed in darkness time and time again, and experienced so many cruel treatment, but he belongs to that era, no matter how to resist by himself, he still has to obey that era, after all, the meaning of survival is just to live.

It's just that in Cervantes' heart, he still hopes that someone can see it, someone can overthrow it, and someone can create it.

"50s..."

"In prison..."

Hearing the old man's words, everyone couldn't help but let out the suffocating breath in their chests while repeating them.

This life of Cervantes was really ill-fated.

As a hero but not taken seriously, he has been imprisoned many times.

This is enough to tell how miserable life was for the lower class under the rule of the king and the Holy See at that time.

"After he was released from prison, he had completed the manuscript of Don Quixote, perhaps because he had great courage in writing this book, so after he was released from prison, he set off for Pareto to cleanse himself. Wronged, I still bring this manuscript with me to find someone to publish."

"The first half of Cervantes' life was so rough, when did you meet him?"

"And the content of this book contains criticisms of the current situation. Since the Holy See is so arbitrary, who would dare to publish it for him?"

"These two questions can be answered together for you. Ordinary people naturally dare not publish. I know the old man. He just set foot on the land of Bared. He first visited the judge, but after being rejected, he went to the local publisher to discuss the publication of this book."

"So it was the judge's decision that made Cervantes determined to publish this book?"

"Yes, not many people dare to fight against the Holy See, so even if he has the idea of ​​fighting in his heart, his courage is not enough."

After Ye Qing nodded in affirmative response to Yixing, he continued:

"It was the failure of the matter that gave him great courage. He hoped that the people at the lower level could stand up. He hoped that the lives of the people at the lower level would no longer be ruled by the Holy See and the king in darkness, full of pain."

Although this Don Quixote is a character created by Cervantes, the Don Quixote in the book also brought Cervantes great courage.

From the moment the book was published, Cervantes was no longer the previous Cervantes. In his heart lived a persistent, brave, and also a little crazy but very real Cervantes.

"Overseas literature at that time was very attractive and influential. He often stayed with a local publisher. After all, the books that could be read by the publisher were not the ones that could be seen on the market. Cervantes When I was looking for a publisher, I asked him to read his manuscript, and after reading it, I liked the novel he wrote very much, and it was more attractive than the ones I read before."

Ye Qing said that his eyes were full of liking, and continued:
"The child Cervantes is also lucky. When he was looking for a publisher, he met me, the old man. I invested in the publication of this book. This book became popular all over the country, and everyone in the world saw what was revealed in the book. Its humanism has resonated with many people.”

"This book became popular as soon as it was published. Although it seems to be a good thing, it undoubtedly poses a threat to Cervantes?"

Huang Lei pursed his lips and thought for a while and said.

Sometimes having a fire and not seeing it is a good thing.

After all, after it becomes popular, this kind of humanism will take root in some people's hearts, which is not allowed by the Holy See and the king.

Doesn't this give someone another chance to send him to prison?

"There will be no threat. Since I have already invested in the publication of the old man, how can I let him be threatened? Otherwise, where will the book be sold and where will the resistance start?"

"What do you mean, when you decided to help him, you already thought about keeping his retreat?"

"A retreat can't be called a retreat, it can only be called an umbrella."

"??"

Everyone looked at the old man curiously and doubtfully.

"Old man, I have told you about the Holy See and the Church. The Church focuses on goodness, but the Holy See has changed its nature and wants to control it. They can have a close relationship with the rulers. They can be arbitrary and have some ruling power, but they don't Will move the church."

Ye Qing narrowed his eyes slightly for a few seconds, then continued:
"After Cervantes was redeemed, he had nothing to do with that church and had nothing to do with the Holy See, so I let him join a church that could keep him safe and he could continue writing there .And after he joined, the output and quality of his works are much higher than before."

"So the people of the Holy See just forget it so easily?"

Peng Yuchang frowned when he heard the words.

According to what the old man said, as long as you don't want to be targeted, you can just join the church.

Aren't the people in the Holy See very bossy?
Could they have the good intentions to ignore Cervantes' book and let it go viral?
