What you see here is Scrapy's mechanism of following links: when you yield
a Request in a callback method, Scrapy will schedule that request to be sent

This spider will start from the main page, it will follow all the links to the

The ``parse_author`` callback defines a helper function to extract and cleanup the
data from a CSS query and yields the Python dict with the author data.
Another interesting this spider demonstrates is that, even if there are many
quotes from the same author, we don't need to worry about visiting the same
page multiple times because Scrapy by default filters out duplicated requests
to URLs already visited, avoiding the problem of hitting servers too much
because of a programming mistake. This can be configured by the setting
