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, with

its beautiful new cover design, includes John Rutherford's masterly translation,

which does full justice to the energy and wit of Cervantes's prose, as well as a

brilliant critical introduction by Roberto Gonzalez Echevarriá.

Reviews:

For a book that is so old, it reads much younger than it should. That is definitely not a negative comment. This particular translation is the best I've read - the language is rich, fluent and readable. I think every person has a little Quixote within themselves (or maybe a little Sancho)and his continual imaginary and real adventures are original and funny. At over 1000 pages, it is a long book but a great casual read.

One of the books you must read before you die. It is like a Russian doll, layered like a nut, peeling like an oragnge. A fantastic look into madness and fantasy caused by poor sleep hygiene. Not a book that can easily be read in one sitting.
