一般来说,不管是在西班牙还是在其他国家,关于塞万提斯的介绍都把他定位为圣人、英雄、烈士或者兼而有之。塞万提斯是个贪婪的读者。在意大利他主要阅读了彼特拉克、阿里奥斯托、塔索、薄伽丘、班戴洛的作品。到了罗马五年之后,他试图返回祖国,那时的他已经有了很深的文化底蕴,而且有丰富的阅历,而那场决斗带来的追杀也许已经被人遗忘。 In general, both in Spain and in other countries, the introduction of Cervantes positions him as a saint, a hero, a martyr, or both. Cervantes is a greedy reader. In Italy he mainly read the works of Petrarch, Aliosteau, Tasso, Boccaccio, and Bandailo. Five years after his arrival in Rome, he tried to return to the motherland. At that time, he had a deep cultural background and rich experience, and the killings brought by that battle may have been forgotten.
