Don Quijote de la Mancha Tomo I [Don Quixote, Part I]

This is a wonderful recording of Don Quijote. The reader has a beautiful voice that makes the narrative come alive. I can easily grasp what Cervantes intended in the way of comedy, satire, and pathos. I recommend this recording for Spanish speakers and for those whose grasp of Spanish is good enough to understand Cervantes' written word. In fact, this recording would work perfectly for those wishing to follow along with the text.

I first read this book more than 20 years ago and unfortunately, I wasn't ready for it. I rarely read any fiction these days and found myself looking for some leisure reading for a change, and in my native language (also for a change). I decided to give the Quijote a try. Before I knew it, I found myself hooked to the story and, oh my, do I love this book! I enjoyed the narration, the story, the characters, everything. In between listening sessions, I was catching up on the historical Cervantes and the history of Spain in the 16th and 17th Centuries. This book is truly a must-read for all. There are minor errors that should have been corrected in editing but I am just nitpicking. I wish Audible brings in more Spanish classics.

Essential, unmissable and comic

I love this book because, first of all, it's a classic. The book has comic moments and serious moments. Allows the reader to make an analysis on the boundaries between sanity and madness.

Everthing. I think he gave "life" to the story, and speak spanish very clear, what allows to me understand the most part of the story.

I don't know.

I thought this book should be in audible's essencial list.

If you really want to listen take 5 cups of coffee before start... Don Quijote is a very good book, but it's already difficult by reading it, listening it I thought it would be better, well, I was wrong, took me a long time to finish and I slept through a lot of times...
