Reviews"The highest creation of genius has been achieved by Shakespeare and Cervantes, almost alone." - Samuel Taylor Coleridge "A more profound and powerful work than this is not to be met with...The final and greatest utterance of the human mind." - Fyodor Dostoyevsky "What a monument is this book! How its creative genius, critical, free, and human, soars above its age!" - Thomas Mann "Don Quixote 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....The parody has become a paragon." - Vladimir Nabokov if (contentWritten=="no" && CoreSetId=="0" && SYM=="ACD") { contentWritten="yes"; document.write(" "); } else { document.write(""); }, "The highest creation of genius has been achieved by Shakespeare and Cervantes, almost alone." -- Samuel Taylor Coleridge "A more profound and powerful work than this is not to be met with...The final and greatest utterance of the human mind." -- Fyodor Dostoyevsky "What a monument is this book!

SynopsisNominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read 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, with its beautiful new cover design, includes John Rutherford's masterly translation, which does full justice to the energy and wit of Cervantes's prose, as well as a brilliant critical introduction by Roberto Gonzalez Echevarriá., Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read Don Quixote has become so entranced reading tales of chivalry that he decides to turn knight errant himself.

Great book, better than “good” quality
Great book! Quality was listed as “good” but I would rank it higher than that. Loving it so far! (Have only read the abridged version so this is intimidating but it’s actually an easy read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great adventure novel, short chapters
This book is quite long but, you'll have no problem getting through it because of how short and fun the chapters are. I usually take a while to finish books but this one took me no time to nearly finish.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great novel and translation.
Don Quixote is perhaps the greatest novel ever written. This translation by John Rutherford brings out the humor in the text. The item itself contained more back ink underlining than I am accustomed to in a book advertised to be in “good” condition.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
