Description

Widely regarded as the world’s first modern novel, and one of the funniest and most tragic books ever written, ‘Don Quixote’ chronicles the adventures of a noble knight and his faithful squire as they travel through 16th-century Spain. Except the knight is not really a knight, his princesses are servant girls, his enchanted castles are inns and his giants are windmills. Don Quixote’s goodness is real however, and his wish for the world to be full of adventures and passion is so profoundly human that, 400 years after its first appearance, his story still crackles, beguiles and inspires.
