Product Description

Originally planned as a moral fable, using parody to attach chivalric romances, the adventures of Don Quixote and his faithful squire Sancho Panza gained depth and complexity in the course of writing. There is a note on the translation and explanatory notes on the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book of bittersweet ideas, 24 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This book is so wonderful. It is so full of hope against the odds. Bittersweet and emotional to read, it gives you a renewed outlook on what reality should be. Is it better to be insane and happy? Or sane and know the harshness of reality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical Tales Within Tales, 25 Nov 2002
By Mr. S. J. Wade "thebardofb6" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Unfortunately this wondrous collection of tales has been turned into film, so many times, that they have been reduced to a bunch of crass cliched images. What the films skimp over, the text gives you in full living detail and a sort of universal truth about being alive is revealed, in side-splitting hilarity. The relationship between Quixote and Panza, is very like Laurel and Hardy and the action of the former, is bound to lead to serious discomforture for the latter. I just can't recommend this book enough and reading it is life-enhancing, to anyone who loves to read and loves to dream. Wonderful and rightly a classic to be read by every generation.

5.0 out of 5 stars So discriptive it's like watching a film, 7 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Having been an avid reader,I lost interest in reading books,and haven't read a book for several years,but as soon as I started this book I found I was unable to put it down.It is a very interesting book which brings the characters to life.Don Quixote was always a favorite character,but I feel that I know him personally through this book
