Sixteenth-century Spanish gentleman Don Quixote, fed by his own delusional fantasies, takes to the road in search of chivalrous adventures. But his quest leads to more trouble than triumph. At once humorous, romantic, and sad, Don Quixote is a literary landmark. This fresh edition, by award-winning translator Edith Grossman, brings the tale to life as never before.

Esta biografía aspira a despojar a Cervantes de los 400 años de historia que le han caído encima para acercarnos a su dimensión humana y sentimental, a su condición de firme hombre de armas e inagotable hombre de letras, al escritor único y a su vitalidad arrebatada, a su defensa de la mujer y a su afán por entender la existencia como nadie la había entendido hasta entonces: en la encrucijada moderna de la ironía. Esa ha acabado siendo su mejor intimidad.

The most influential work of the entire Spanish literary canon and a founding work of modern Western literature, Don Quixote is also one of the greatest works ever written. Hugely entertaining but also moving at times, this episodic novel is built on the fantasy life of one Alonso Quixano, who lives with his niece and housekeeper in La Mancha. Quixano, obsessed by tales of knight errantry, renames himself ‘Don Quixote’ and with his faithful servant Sancho Panza, goes on a series of quests.

It's the classic adventure of a madman: the "renowned Don Quixote de la Mancha". He attacks windmills, believes a peasant girl to be a lady, and fancies that he is a knight-errant, dedicated to righting wrongs and rescuing damsels in distress.

This Volume IV on Cervantes is the final in my Cervantes series on the novel Don Quixote de La Mancha. I discuss the remaining chapters in this great, sprawling novel about honor, passion, imagination, delusion, tragedy, and comedy set in the Spain of the 1500s and 1600s. What is interesting, as this pioneering novel winds down, is the continued and surprising emergence of Sancho Panza, the peasant squire of Don Quixote, as the central character of the novel. His combination of malapropisms, ubiquitous proverbs often beside the point, shrewd common-sense realism, and authentic, deep ...

In the early 17th century, a crippled, graying, almost toothless veteran of Spain's wars against the Ottoman Empire published a novel. It was the story of a poor nobleman, his brain addled from studying too many novels of chivalry, who deludes himself that he is a knight errant and sets off on hilarious adventures. That story, Don Quixote, went on to sell more copies than any other book beside the Bible, making its author, Miguel de Cervantes, the single most-read author in human history.

Don Quixote, the world's first novel and by far the best-known book in Spanish literature, was originally intended by Cervantes as a satire on traditional popular ballads, yet he also parodied the romances of chivalry. By happy coincidence he produced one of the most entertaining adventure stories of all time and, in Don Quixote and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, two of the greatest characters in fiction.

Over the few short decades that followed Christopher Columbus' first landing in the Caribbean in 1492, Spain conquered the two most powerful civilizations of the Americas: the Aztecs of Mexico and the Incas of Peru. Hernán Cortés, Francisco Pizarro, and the other explorers and soldiers who took part in these expeditions dedicated their lives to seeking political and religious glory, helping to build an empire unlike any the world had ever seen. But centuries later, these conquistadors have become the stuff of nightmares.
