| Summary: | This article analyses Miguel de Cervantes&rsquo;s work Don Quixote de la Mancha. Our aim is to look into the reading practices and readers portrayed in Cervantes&rsquo;s book. We thus consider his work as a product of the possible relations between the author and his epoch. We argue that Don Quixote interweaves reality and imagination and that it is at once ingenious and true. Such conception brings about the issue of the mediations between history and literature, about which the article makes some considerations. This text is therefore built on the interfaces between history and literature and seeks to retrieve some reading practices and readers found in Cervantes&rsquo;s work.<br>O artigo analisa a obra &ldquo;Dom Quixote de la Mancha&rdquo;, escrita por Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Seu objetivo &eacute; esquadrinhar as pr&aacute;ticas de leitura e os leitores representados na obra de Cervantes. Neste sentido, n&oacute;s podemos considerar sua obra como inspirada pelas rela&ccedil;&otilde;es poss&iacute;veis do autor com seu tempo. Assim, em Dom Quixote, estariam urdidos fios de realidade e de imagina&ccedil;&atilde;o. A engenhosa obra seria, a um s&oacute; tempo, artificiosa e verdadeira. Tal concep&ccedil;&atilde;o da obra traz &agrave; tona a quest&atilde;o das media&ccedil;&otilde;es entre a hist&oacute;ria e a literatura, sobre a qual o artigo desenvolve algumas considera&ccedil;&otilde;es. O texto transita, portanto, pelas interfaces da hist&oacute;ria e da literatura, buscando resgatar algumas das pr&aacute;ticas de leitura e os leitores representados na obra de Cervantes. |
