Explore the wonders and magic of this unforgettable classic and take an exhilarating step back in time!
Don Quixote (Volume I and Volume II) by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes is a book of literary fiction first published in 1615 in Spain and later translated into English by Irish translator John Ormsby in 1885.
Be inspired and moved by prose written in times long gone. Classic works of literature have memorable characters and offer profound and eternal reflections on the human condition.
A celebrated, funny adventure classic filled with thrilling and hilarious escapades.
‘In short, his wits being quite gone, he hit upon the strangest notion that ever madman in this world hit upon, and that was that he fancied it was right and requisite, as well for the support of his own honour as for the service of his country, that he should make a knight-errant of himself, roaming the world over in full armour and on horseback in quest of adventures, and putting in practice himself all that he had read of as being the usual practices of knights-errant; righting every kind of wrong, and exposing himself to peril and danger from which, in the issue, he was to reap eternal renown and fame. Already the poor man saw himself crowned by the might of his arm Emperor of Trebizond at least; and so, led away by the intense enjoyment he found in these pleasant fancies, he set himself forthwith to put his scheme into execution.’
Don Quixote is so taken with chivalric romances that he resolves to set out on his old horse Rocinante, with his pragmatic squire, Sancho Panza, to seek adventure. His exploits grow in wondrous ways. While Quixote's fancy frequently leads him astray—he gazes at windmills as if they were giants—Sancho develops cunning and a certain sagacity. They roam the world together experiencing thrilling escapades and have sparked readers' imaginations for nearly four hundred years.
