Description
Don Quixote, translated by P. A. Motteux, is a story of a deranged gentleman who turns knight-errant, tilts at windmills and battles with sheep in the service of his lady of dreams. This precursor of the modern novel broadened and deepened into a sophisticated, comic account of the contradictions of human nature. Through the eyes of Don Quixote and his trusty squire, Sancho Panza, Cervantes explores the complexities of human experience, meeting characters of every class and condition along the way. With a subtle irony that reaches out to encompass the reader, this 18th-century translation succeeds in communicating the spirit of the original Spanish, bringing the world of Don Quixote to life. A rich and nuanced work, Don Quixote has fascinated generations of readers and continues to inspire creative artists to this day.
