Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an early English translation of one of the most celebrated works of Spanish literature. Originally published in two volumes in 1612 and 1615, the work is presented here in its unabridged entirety. The author's intent is to criticize and satirize the popular chivalric romances of the time which the author suggests foster unrealistic and inaccurate ideals of chivalry. Instead, the author attempts to ground the idea of a hero in the real world with his main character and protagonist, Don Quixote. Don Quixote is a well meaning but impractical man who reads so many chivalric novels that he loses connection with reality and decides to set out to become a knight errant. The result is a hilarious and insightful examination of the human condition and the importance of facing reality. The book includes a preface by the translator, an introduction, and thorough notes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334171499_0
