The 18th century Venetian was born in poverty. He was intent on working up the social ladder though and saw sex as both pleasure and a 'weapon of class destruction.'"]

Ilan Stavans, a professor of Latin American and Latino Culture, has a profound affection for the tale of don Quixote de la Mancha, and he says the wandering knight’s adventure through life mirrors our own. Stavans joins us Monday to explore how Don Quixote rose to global success and gave rise to modernity."]
