Bonfires

Midsummer bonfire, sent by Leila (Finland). 


Peter Arenes in Geld und Geist, 1964. Sent by Linda (Switzerland).


Envelope sent by Imma (PC). It is an rare issue of Correos, from 1999, featuring Mingote's illustrations of Don Quixote. I sent a lot of these years ago!

The envelope features a scene from chapters 6 and 7 of the first part of Don Quixote, where his friends examine his library, full with chivalry romances and other books, and decide to burn most of them and seal the room. The comments of the priest allow author Cervantes to praise or condemn the books.
