Abstract

When Cervantes was writing the Quijote perhaps he did not expect the scope that
the adventures of the knight errant would have. In this article is pretended to track the
Cervantine influence trough the structure and the characters in two of the most important
works in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert and
The Trial by Franz Kafka. It is possible to establish a link between these authors with
Cervantes thanks to Flaubert and Kafka show or confessed they read Don Quixote.
