Cervantes IV Centennial Series will roll into its fifth week of lectures and discussion today and Thursday, when audiences in the Institute of Geographical Exploration hear speeches on the immortal creator of Don Quixote by Lienhard Bergel of Queens College and novelist Ralph Bates.
Lectures number eight and nine in the program which began last month will both be delivered in English to enable non-multi-lingual students to grapple with the finer points of the renowned Spanish romance. Both speeches will begin at 8 o'clock.
Bergel's talk tonight will analyze the relationships among Cervantes, Hegel, and Kafka. A widely-known literary critic and chairman of the German department at Queens, Bergel is a specialist in the relations between contemporary German and traditional European literary figures.
Entitled "The Cave of Montesinos," Bates' lecture on Thursday will center around a famous episode in the second part of "Don Quixote."
