A stunning collector's edition of Cervantes' timeless Spanish classic, perfect for lovers of world literature and a brilliant exploration of chivalry and society.
Don Quixote is one of the founding works of Spanish literature. In this novel Cervantes follows the stories of a half-mad nobleman called Alonso Quixano and his squire Sancho Panza, as they try to revive chivalry and bring justice to the world.
Cervantes' remarkable wit makes for a delightful reading experience as he uses his compelling characters to explore 16th-century Spanish society in a novel that is both hilarious and profound. From tilting at windmills to battling with sheep to obtain the lady of his dreams, Don Quixote is filled with unforgettable scenes. This translation by John Ormsby is one of the most accurate translations ever written and conveys Cervantes's vision to an English audience.
