Abstract

Mario Vargas Llosa and Milan Kundera are eminent novelists and literary theorists and critics. They both acknowledge their debt to Miguel de Cervantes, whose Don Quixote they consider not only the first modern novel, but a symbol of Western civilization. The article focuses on their conception of the novel, the role of fiction and humor, and the possible death of the novel.
