Reggie's "Fast Culture: People Who Want Answers in 10 Minutes" Impressions - The Dark Side of Modern Japan from the Perspective of Culture. A stimulating work that cuts to the mechanisms of influencer popularity.

What is the darkness of modern people who try to consume culture as if it were fast food?

I was really interested in this book when I saw it on my Twitter timeline!

This book is not simply a work written to criticize "Hiroyuki, Atsuhiko Nakata, Kazu Laser, DaiGo, Yusaku Maezawa, Takafumi Horie" and other influencers.

Rather, the work carefully follows the mechanisms of modern society as to why we are attracted to such influencers.

Don Quixote, the beloved itinerant knight.

T. Bulfinch's "A New Translation of King Arthur's Tales" Synopsis and Commentary - The Royal Tale of the English Medieval Knight! And the connection to Don Quixote.

This book will be a work compiled as a guidebook to get a general overview of the vast "Tales of King Arthur".

I would highly recommend this piece. The story is dramatic and enjoyable. I am convinced that this story has had a great influence on modern fantasy and video game productions. The Holy Sword Excalibur and the legend of the Holy Grail are exciting even for those of us living in the modern age. I think this work can be called the royal road of storytelling.

It was also interesting to read it while thinking about the connection to "Don Quixote"!

M. J. Dougherty, "Illustrated King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" - A recommended guide to learn the outline and history of the Arthurian story!

When it comes to medieval knightly tales, "The Tales of King Arthur" cannot be missed.

You have probably heard of "The Tales of King Arthur" before, even if you don't know what it is about.

And in fact, the famous "Knights of the Round Table", "Legend of the Holy Grail" and "Holy Sword Excalibur" are mentioned in this story. This is interesting.

It is also visually friendly with numerous illustrations, making it easy to read.

This is a great book for an introduction to King Arthur. This was a much appreciated work.

I highly recommend this guidebook.

F. Gies, "Knights of Medieval Europe" - A recommended guide to the origins and history of medieval knights.

The book will be a commentary on what the knightly world depicted in "Don Quixote" was really like.

The book will also give you a pretty good idea of the beginnings of knighthood and what chivalry is that Don Quixote dedicated to.

The connection between the Crusades and chivalry was particularly interesting.

As a lover of "Don Quixote," I found this book very inspiring and interesting.

I highly recommend this work.

Kunikazu Iwane, "The Tragedy of the Spanish Invincible Armada" - Recommended to learn about the Battle of Armada, Pirate Drake, and the fall of Spain!

This work follows in detail the course of the Battle of the Armada, in which the famous Spanish Invincible Armada was defeated.

The British defeated the Spanish Invincible Armada in 1588, which led to the downfall of Spain and the beginning of British maritime supremacy in this naval battle.

The defeat of the Spanish Invincible Armada is often talked about as the exploits of the famous pirate Drake and the spectacular victory of the British fleet, as shown in the picture above, but in fact, this book will show that this naval battle was not such a simple plot.

The connection to Cervantes, author of "Don Quixote," was also interesting!

Montalvo's "Esplandian Armed Order: The Sequel Amadis de Gaula" Synopsis and Comments - The Story of Amadis' Son, the Knight Admired by Don Quixote.

In our previous article, "Montalvo's "Amadis de Gaula" Synopsis and Impressions - The Masterpiece of Chivalric Tales that Drove Don Quixote Mad! we introduced "Amadis de Gaula," the chivalric tale that caused Don Quixote to lose his mind.

This work, "The Order of the Esplandian Warrior," is a sequel to that work.

The protagonist is Esplandian, the legitimate son of Amadis de Gaula, the protagonist of the previous film.

Definitely worth reading if you are a Don Quixote fan.

I am very happy to know what kind of person that good man, Lord Esplandian, was.

Montalvo's "Amadis de Gaula" Synopsis and Impressions - A masterpiece of chivalric tales that drove Don Quixote mad!

The work that is truly a must for Don Quixote fans will now be "Amadis de Gaula". I couldn't stop grinning when I got this book.

In fact, I read this book myself, and it is a masterpiece that Don Quixote could not help but fall in love with. I could understand why the priest in the book says it is the only best book of its kind.

I read the book in one sitting with a grin on my face, thinking, "Oh-ho, Don Quixote was copying this story and doing that?" I enjoyed the pleasure of starting from a parody and seeing the original story in this book.
