Don Quixote - first US edition 5th printing
by Miguel Cervantes
translated by Edith Grossman
Edith Grossman's definitive English translation of the Spanish masterpiece.
Widely regarded as the world's first modern novel, and one of the funniest and
most tragic books ever written, Don Quixote chronicles the famous picaresque
adventures of the noble knight-errant Don Quixote of La Mancha and his faithful
squire, Sancho Panza, as they travel through sixteenth-century Spain. Unless you
read Spanish, you've never read Don Quixote. As the respected translator of many
of Latin America's finest writers (among them Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Carlos
Fuentes and Mario Vargas Llosa), she is well suited to the task, and her
translation is admirably readable and consistent while managing to retain the
vigor, sly humor and colloquial playfulness of the Spanish.
