He dreamed the world could still be noble ~ and dared to live as if it were true.
Across the dry plains of Spain rides Don Quixote de la Mancha, an aging country gentleman who believes the age of chivalry never died. With a rusted helmet, a lean horse, and a heart full of conviction, he sets out to right the world’s wrongs. By his side is Sancho Panza, a farmer loyal enough to follow him into folly and back again.
What begins as comedy becomes a portrait of the human spirit ~ proud, foolish, brave, and endlessly hopeful. Cervantes’ Don Quixote is not just a tale of adventure but the first modern novel, capturing the distance between the world as it is and the world as we wish it to be.
This modernised edition by William Power, B.Ed. preserves the full voice of John Ormsby’s 1885 translation while refining its rhythm and language for today’s readers. The humour remains sharp, the story flows naturally, and the spirit of Cervantes shines as clearly as ever.
More than four centuries on, Don Quixote still rides ~ carrying every dreamer who refuses to give up on honour, imagination, and hope.
