“When I was a young student in Latin American schools,
we were constantly being asked to define the boundary
between the Middle Ages and the Modern Age… for me
the modern world begins when Don Quixote de La Mancha,
in 1605, leaves his village, goes out into the world, and
discovers that the world does not resemble what he
has read about it.“
