About this product

Product Information

Don Quixote or Spanish:, fully titled The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha (Spanish: El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha, is a Spanish vel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Published in two volumes, in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote is considered the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary can. As a founding work of modern Western literature and one of the earliest canical vels, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published, such as the Bokklubben World Library collection that cites Don Quixote as authors' choice for the best literary work ever written. The story follows the adventures of a hidalgo named Mr. Alonso Quixa who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to set out to revive chivalry, undo wrongs, and bring justice to the world, under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does t see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story. Throughout the vel, Cervantes uses such literary techniques as realism, metatheatre, and intertextuality. It had a major influence on the literary community, as evidenced by direct references in Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers (1844), Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) and Edmond Rostand's Cyra de Bergerac (1897), as well as the word quixotic. Arthur Schopenhauer cited Don Quixote as one of the four greatest vels ever written, along with Tristram Shandy, La Nouvelle Heloise and Wilhelm Meister.
