Complete and unabridged, Don Quixote is the epic tale of the man from
La Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza. Their picaresque
adventures in the world of seventeenth-century Spain form the basis of
one of the great treasures of Western literature.
In a new translation that "comes closest, among the modern translations,
to the simple, intimate, direct style that characterizes Cervantes'
narrative,"* Don Quixote is a novel that is both immortal satire of
an outdated chivalric code and a biting portrayal of an age in which
nobility was a form of madness.
