Excerpt from Count Lucanor: Or the Fifty Pleasant Stories of Patronio The young monarch, however, on reaching his majority, was dissatisfied with the state of things. Alfonso XI. Had many of the qualities which were most appreciated in that age - courage, vigour, ad dress, and activity. He was hardy, sober, simple in his habits, and skilled in all athletic sports. But all these gifts were neutralized and rendered una vailing by the evil counsels of those by whom he was surrounded. He chose his advisers among men whose ambition and turbulence had ravaged the country, but whose lawless deeds he attributed only to zeal for his cause. Accustomed from his earliest youth to regard them as his friends, while their sole thought was to captivate his favour and make it a stepping-stone for their ambition, he appointed them to the exclusion of Don Manuel, whose influence, though insufficient to check every abuse, had hitherto been a beneficial restraint.

Two things combine to single out this book of tales as worthy of special attention. The tales were written six centuries ago, yet they are both interesting and instructive; and the life of the author reads like a fable.This man of royal blood was statesman, politician, and above all, warrior. He is, in fact, known as one of the most vigorous, turbulent, and dangerous barons of his time. Only during lulls between his great activities did he become author. He made writing his diversion, according to his own words, because he felt this to be more worthy of a gentleman than wasting his time at games.Yet, in these fifty pleasant stories, Don Juan Manuel has produced one of the highlights in Spanish literature, both as to content and as to style. This edition is intended to bring Don Juan into the libraries of those who enjoy the unusual when it is also good.
