chivalric

Marco también tiene libros de caballerías: son su propio pasado.
Marco, too has a collection of chivalric books: they are his own past.

Cervantes, con un humor desparejo, parodió sin compasión a autores de libros de caballerías que le habían precedido, mientras que no tenemos los textos de los precursores de Homero.
Cervantes, with unsurpassed mirth, parodied unto death his chivalric forerunners, while we do not have the texts of Homer’s precursors.

es posible incluso que, igual que Marco, sea un novelista frustrado: si Alonso Quijano hubiese escrito un libro de caballerías, quizá nunca hubiese sido don Quijote, porque habría invertido en la ficción su imparable capacidad fabuladora y habría vivido vicariamente en ella lo que quiso vivir en la realidad, igual que quizás el Marco real nunca hubiese creado al Marco ficticio si hubiese inventado sus peripecias y las hubiese vivido vicariamente al escribir una ficción.
it is even possible that, like Marco, he is a frustrated novelist: if Alonso Quixano had written a book of chivalric deeds, perhaps he would never have been Don Quixote, because he would have invested his incomparable talents as a storyteller in his fiction and, through it, vicariously lived the life he wished to live in reality, just as the real Marco might perhaps not have created the fictional Marco if he had dreamed up his adventures and lived them vicariously by writing fiction.
