What do the names of Amadis of Gaul, Palmerin of England, Don Belianis of Greece, and Tirant the White mean to us today? After all, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's (1547–1616) "The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha" was created precisely as a parody of the novels about these knights. And this parody has outlived the genre it parodied for centuries. In 2002, according to a survey of writers conducted by the Nobel Institute, "Don Quixote" was recognized as the best novel in the history of world literature. It is no coincidence that Vladimir Nabokov asserted that "while reading other novelists, we in some sense never part with Don Quixote for a minute," recognizing his traits in John Jarndyce, Konstantin Levin, and even Emma Bovary.
