Synopsis "Don Quixote (Penguin Clothbound Classics)"

The canonical Spanish classic, now in a beautiful hardcover edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith Don Quixote has become so entranced reading tales of chivalry that he decides to turn knight errant himself. In the company of his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, these exploits blossom in all sorts of wonderful ways. While Quixote's fancy often leads him astray--he tilts at windmills, imagining them to be giants--Sancho acquires cunning and a certain sagacity. Sane madman and wise fool, they roam the world together-and together they have haunted readers' imaginations for nearly four hundred years. With its experimental form and literary playfulness, Don Quixote has been generally recognized as the first modern novel. This Penguin Classics edition includes John Rutherford's masterly translation, which does full justice to the energy and wit of Cervantes's prose.

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».
