Genre Fiction

Penguin

The father of the modern novel and a comic masterpiece, Don Quixote has acquired mythic status and remains as fresh today as when it first appeared nearly 400 years ago. This translation by Charles Jarvis conveys the flavor of the original Spanish, and the introduction by Milan Kundera illuminates the volume.

Don Quixote

Don Quixote - as he calls himself - wants a life of adventure. He'd like to save damsels in distress and battle dragons. So he makes himself a knight and together with his great friend Sancho Panza, Don Quixote sets off in the world. But things don't go quite as planned and the two adventurersend up in all kinds of trouble.* Michael Harrison has written four teenage novels and has edited many highly-acclaimed poetry anthologies

Don Quixote, originally published in two parts in 1605 and 1615, stands as Cervantes' belated but colossal literary success. A work which has achieved mythic status, it is considered to have pioneered the modern novel. Don Quixote, a poor gentleman from La Mancha, Spain, entranced by the code of chivalry, seeks romantic honor through absurd and fantastic adventures. His fevered imagination turns everyday objects into heroic opponents and stepping stones to greater glory; each exploit serves as a comic, yet disturbing commentary on the psychological struggle between reality and illusion, fact and fiction. This celebrated translation by Charles Jarvis offers a new introduction and notes which provide essential background information.

The canonical Spanish classic, now in a beautiful hardcover edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith Don Quixote has become so entranced reading tales of chivalry that he decides to turn knight errant himself. In the company of his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, these exploits blossom in all sorts of wonderful ways. While Quixote's fancy often leads him astray--he tilts at windmills, imagining them to be giants--Sancho acquires cunning and a certain sagacity. Sane madman and wise fool, they roam the world together-and together they have haunted readers' imaginations for nearly four hundred years. With its experimental form and literary playfulness, Don Quixote has been generally recognized as the first modern novel. This Penguin Classics edition includes John Rutherford's masterly translation, which does full justice to the energy and wit of Cervantes's prose.
