  "El 'Tirant lo Blanch' i 'D. Quijote de La Mancha'" by J. Givanel Mas is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century. The book presents a critical examination of the influences between two seminal works of literature, exploring the connections and inspirations that exist between Miguel de Cervantes' "Don Quijote" and the earlier chivalric novel "Tirant lo Blanch" by Martí de Riquer. Through an analysis of various passages and characters, the work seeks to shed light on how these texts interact and inform each other within the context of their respective literary traditions. The opening of this study outlines the current academic discourse surrounding "Don Quijote," indicating a shift from purely celebratory analysis towards a search for the sources and influences that shaped Cervantes' work. Givanel Mas cites notable literary critics, referencing their arguments about the connections between "Don Quijote" and chivalric literature, particularly "Tirant lo Blanch." The text highlights Cervantes' extensive reading and engagement with chivalric romances, suggesting that his representation of knightly adventures and characters in "Don Quijote" was significantly influenced by the earlier work, providing textual examples that illustrate both similarities and contrasts between the two narratives.

  «LA MORT EM POT ARRIBAR DE DUES MANERES. SI EM QUEDO AQUÍ COMBATENT, NO TORNARÉ VIU PERÒ EL MEU NOM VIURÀ PER SEMPRE; MENTRE QUE SI ME'N TORNO A LA LLAR EL MEU NOM ES MORIRÀ PERÒ LA MORT TRIGARÀ A ENDUR-SE'M.»
  Així parla Aquil·les, l'heroi grec que, tot i conèixer el seu destí, continuarà la batalla. Hèctor, l'heroi troià, abans d'encaminar-se a la mort s'acomiada de la dona i del fill amb aquestes paraules: «¿Com podré mirar als ulls els troians, tant homes com dones, si defujo la batalla com un covard? No puc; no sé fer altra cosa que combatre amb coratge.» Com ells dos, tots els guerrers d'un bàndol i de l'altre preferirien no ser a la guerra, però, atrapats pels capricis dels déus, busquen si més no assolir la glòria, ja que no poden mantenir la vida.
  Poema fundacional de la literatura occidental, la Ilíada continua captivant-nos perquè, darrere l'epopeia i la llegenda, hi batega una veritat intemporal sobre la guerra, el dolor i la condició humana.

  «El Cavaller Verd s'apuntala amb tots dos peus a terra, inclina una mica elcap per mostrar la carn, s'aparta els bonics cabells passant-los per sobre dela coroneta i ofereix a la vista, a punt, el coll descobert.»
  
  A Camelot, la nit de Cap d'Any, el rei Artús, la reina Ginebra i els cavallers de la Taula Rodona tenen un gran ensurt. El Cavaller Verd irromp amb una juguesca: es deixarà tallar el coll i, passat un any, qui li hagi clavat el cop anirà a trobar-lo per rebre una paga equivalent. El rei accepta el repte, però Galvany s'ofereix de seguit per protegir el cap del seu oncle. I fa caure la destral damunt el coll del Cavaller Verd, que recull la testa de terra i surt de la sala, com si res.
  A lloms de Gringolet, Galvany cavalca per boscos i planes a la recerca de l'enigmàtica Capella Verda on l'espera l'aterridor cop de destral. Mentre hi arriba, vivim emocionants escenes de caça, d'amor i seducció i mengem àpats delicats.
  Aquest conte artúric del segle XIV va encisar J. R. R. Tolkien. Doneu-li les gràcies perquè és ell qui ha convençut Lola Badia que val la pena traduir-lo, passar una mica de por i decidir si el final és feliç o no. Llegim-lo i deixem que se'ns glaci la sang. El coll, el salvarem.
