Don Quixote

Miguel de, Cervantes Saavedra

Vintage Books

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 new translation, which does full justice to the energy and wit of Cervantes's prose, as well as a brilliant new critical introduction by Roberto Gonzalez Echevarriá.

Excerpt from Cervantes: El Licenciado VidrieraEl tercer centenario de la muerte de Cer vantes, digna y solemnemente celebrado en España, traía un compromiso especial e ineludible a la ciudad de Valladolid, por ra zones que nadie ignora. Y aun dando por seguro que había de salirse adelante con ese deber, advertiase la necesidad de completar los honores de otra índole con la publicación de alguna de las obras de Cervantes que a Valladolid hacen relación. Debía procurarse que en tal ocasión circulase por la antigua corte de Felipe III uno de aquellos donosos relatos que, por referirse a ella de uno u otro modo,tuese como un recordatorio de lo muy obligada que está al rey de los novelistas.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Widely regarded as the world's first modern novel, Don Quixote chronicles the famous picaresque adventures of the noble knight-errant Don Quixote de la Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, as they wend their way across sixteenth-century Spain. Milan Kundera calls Cervantes “the founder of the Modern Era and Lionel Trilling “observes that it can be said that all prose fiction is a variation on the theme of Don Quixote.”This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition reproduces the acclaimed Tobias Smollett translation; as Salman Rushdie declares, “To my mind, this is the only English rendering of the Quixote that reads like a great novel, a novel of immense daring, much wildness and many colours. It releases Don Quixote from the grey academic prison of many more recent translations, unleashing him upon the English language in all his brilliant, foolish glory”. This edition also contains new endnotes.From the Trade Paperback edition.
