Reviews"Grossman has given us an honest, robust and freshly revelatory Quixote for our times" -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A major literary achievement." -- New York Times Book Review "Ms. Grossman...has provided a Quixote that is agile, playful, formal and wry.... What she renders splendidly is the book's very heart." -- New York Times "It is thrilling to add Grossman's to the bookshelf of Don Quixote possibilities. Her rendition confirms that Cervantes' imperfect masterpiece is as much at home in Shakespeare's tongue as it is in Spanish." -- Los Angeles Times "This new translation relates the story of the man of La Mancha and his vivid imagination in a way that is more in tune with a 21st-century reader." -- Los Angeles Daily News "Marvelous new translation." -- The New Yorker "The Grossman translation blows the dust off Cervantes, leaving his light-footed prose and his sly, gentle mockeries." -- Dallas Morning News "[Edith Grossman's] rendering of Cervantes' prose conveys all of its complex subtleties in a fresh and attractive style that is neither overly traditional nor colloquial." -- San Diego Union-Tribune "This new version of Don Quixote is thoroughly modern...the words are familiar, the humor's intact." -- Austin American-Statesman, "What a unique monument is this book!...How its creative genius, critical, free, and human, soars above its age!" - Thomas Mann "It is thrilling to add Grossman's to the bookshelf of Don Quixote possibilities. Her rendition confirms that Cervantes' imperfect masterpiece is as much at home in Shakespeare's tongue as it is in Spanish." - Los Angeles Times "This new version of Don Quixote is thoroughly modern...the words are familiar, the humor's intact." - Austin American-Statesman Timeless Praise for Don Quixote : "Cervantes is the founder of the Modern Era.... The novelist need answer to no one but Cervantes. Don Quixote is practically unthinkable as a living being, and yet, in our memory, what character is more alive?" - Milan Kundera "Don Quixote is greater today than he was in Cervantes's womb. [He] looms so wonderfully above the skyline of literature, a gaunt giant on a lean nag, that the book lives and will live through [his] sheer vitality....He stands for everything that is gentle, forlorn, pure, unselfish, and gallant. The parody has become a paragon." - Vladimir Nabokov "The Grossman translation blows the dust off Cervantes, leaving his light-footed prose and his sly, gentle mockeries." - Dallas Morning News "[Edith Grossman's] rendering of Cervantes' prose conveys all of its complex subtleties in a fresh and attractive style that is neither overly traditional nor colloquial." - San Diego Union-Tribune "This new translation relates the story of the man of La Mancha and his vivid imagination in a way that is more in tune with a 21st-century reader." - Los Angeles Daily News "Marvelous new translation." - The New Yorker "Grossman has given us an honest, robust and freshly revelatory Quixote for our times" - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A major literary achievement." - New York Times Book Review "Ms. Grossman...has provided a Quixote that is agile, playful, formal and wry.... What she renders splendidly is the book's very heart." - New York Times "It can be said that all prose fiction is a variation on the theme of Don Quixote." - Lionel Trilling, "Grossman has given us an honest, robust and freshly revelatory Quixote for our times" -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A major literary achievement." -- Carlos Fuentes, New York Times Book Review
