Summary

"El Buscapié" by Adolfo de Castro, is a historical literary composition from the 17th century. It's a thought-provoking piece responding to criticisms of a previous work, likely "Don Quixote," and seeks to defend it. The title itself suggests a critical examination, in line with the author's use of satire interwoven with reflection. The story begins with information that orients the reader, and describes the context in which it was modified. Thought to have been lost, it was then rediscovered. Serving as a defense, it provides the reader with insights into hidden areas of his prized novel by establishing a thoughtful mood, hinting at a playful yet critical examination.
