Summary/Abstract: If Avellaneda had not published the apocryphal second part of Don Quijote de la Mancha, Cervantes, in all likelihood, would not have written the authentic one or this one would have been radically different. In the introduction to the Second Part, which records the third expedition of Don Quixote, the author is railing against a false author who has published a false sequel to the First Part of Don Quixote. It is precisely this false book and its consequent play of mirrors, in which true and false characters will move, that gives the second part of the immortal work its actual meaning
