The Unmissable Literary Classic by Miguel de Cervantes

Don Quixote by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes is a book of literary fiction first published in 1605. This edition features the English translation by John Ormsby, published in 1885

A celebrated classic filled with the comic adventures of an aging knight, who has read too many chivalric romances.

Excerpt

‘In short, our gentleman became so immersed in his reading that he spent whole nights from sundown to sunup and his days from dawn to dusk in poring over his books, until, finally, from so little sleeping and so much reading, his brain dried up and he went completely out of his mind. He filled his imagination with everything he had read, with enchantments, knightly encounters, battles, challenges, wounds, with tales of love and its torments, and all sorts of impossible things, and as a result had come to believe that all these fictitious happenings were true; they were more real to him than anything else in the world.’

Synopsis

Originally conceived as a parody of the chivalric romances that had long been the literary fashion, it describes realistically what befalls an aging knight who, bemused by reading such romances, sets out on his old horse Rocinante, with his pragmatic squire, Sancho Panza, to seek adventure.
