One of the funniest yet also the most tragic of books, Don Quixote chronicles the marvelous adventures of the self-appointed knight-errant Don Quixote of La Mancha. With his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, he travels through sixteenth-century Spain tilting at windmills, fighting with friars, and twisting the countryside into a fantasy of castles, fortresses, and sorcerers. At the same time, the relationship between the two men grows in fascinating subtlety.

Don Quixote is the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. Often labeled "the first modern novel," it is also considered one of the finest ever written. By the 20th century, Don Quixote had come to be regarded as one of the foundations of modern literature.

Originally published as two separate books, this edition combines both in one volume, newly designed and typeset in a large-page format by Waking Lion Press.

Cervantes, Miguel De: - Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, born in 1547, is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the Spanish language and one of the world's preeminent novelists. He published Don Quixote in two parts between 1605 and 1615; both are included in this large-format volume. Much of his life was spent in poverty and obscurity, and the bulk of his surviving work was produced in the three years preceding his death. Despite this, his enormous influence is reflected by the fact that Spanish is often referred to as "the language of Cervantes."
