Rocinante graham greene6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() The story is very stable and slow, Graham Greene takes his time. ![]() The book is separated into two parts, each part is separated into chapters and each chapter separated into parts again. On their route they experience various adventures, and they are chased about a bit by the guardia and the Bishop who wants to put Monsignore Quixote in an asylum. They discuss like two Greek philosophers, they question each other’s views, but accept that they are not alike. In the evenings they drink a lot of wine and they have deep dialogues. He is a Communist and he has no wish to see his beloved village in the hands of the newly elected republicans. ![]() The village’s former mayor decides to join the monsignor. Monsignor Quixote soon understands that the bishop intends to get rid of him, and he decides to take a vacation. His local bishop is very upset, partly because he has always regarded Monsignor Quixote as a foolish old man (although harmless). In the beginning of the book, he is just an ordinary parish priest, but one day he incidentally meets and helps an Italian bishop, which leads to him being promoted to the rank of Monsignor by the Pope. Monsignor Quixote is a pious priest living in the village El Toboso in the La Mancha-region in Spain. ![]()
