Synopsis "Don Quixote (Case Laminate Hardcover With Jacket)"

The story follows the adventures of a nameless hidalgo who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to set out to revive chivalry, undo wrongs, and bring justice to the world, under the name Don Quixote. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story.Published in two volumes, in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote is considered one of the most influential works of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature and one of the earliest canonical novels, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published, such as the Bokklubben World Library collection that cites Don Quixote as authors' choice for the "best literary work ever written."This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (Alcalá de Henares, 29 de septiembre de 1547-Madrid, 22 de abril de 1616) fue un novelista, poeta, dramaturgo y soldado español.
Es ampliamente considerado una de las máximas figuras de la literatura española. Fue el autor de El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha, novela conocida habitualmente como El Quijote, que lo llevó a ser mundialmente conocido y a la cual muchos críticos han descrito como la primera novela moderna, así como una de las mejores obras de la literatura universal, cuya cantidad de ediciones y traducciones solo es superada por la Biblia. A Cervantes se le ha dado el apelativo de «Príncipe de los Ingenios».
