The text of Pierre Menard, author of Don Quixote is on the web. This is one of my favorite stories. Pierre Menard, a 20th century writer, has composed fragments of Don Quixote which match Cervantes' original word-for-word. But how different the two versions are!

Not so that of his precursor, who handles easily the ordinary Spanish of his time."
