The Adventures of Gil Blas of Santillane, Vol. 1 of 3

Alain-René Le Sage

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from The Adventures of Gil Blas of Santillane, Vol. 1 of 3

Reader! Hark you, my friend! Do not begin the story of my life till I have told you a short tale.

Two students travelled together from Penafiel to Salamanca. Finding themselves tired and thirsty, they stopped by the side of a spring on the road. While they were resting there, after having quenched their thirst, by chance they espied on a stone near them, even with the ground, part of an inscription, in some degree effaced by time, and by the tread of ﬂocks in the habit of watering at that spring. Hav ing washed the stone, they were able to trace these words in the dialect of Castille Aqui estd encerrada el alma del licenciado Pedro Garcias. Here lies interred the soul of the licentiate Peter Garcias.
