Synopsis
DON QUIXOTE is the story of an aging gentleman who decides that he is a latter-day knight-errant, bound to sally forth to defend the world from evil. He enlists as his squire a neighboring peasant, Sancho Panza. Together they have many adventures across Spain until the gentleman's friends are able to convince him to return home and resume his old life. The most famous of all Spanish novels, the first part of DON QUIXOTE was published in 1605. The second part was published (after a spurious sequel was published by another author) in 1615.

Industry Reviews
"It will not be denied that the breaking point, the point where the modern world broke away laughing from this last medievalism--that the symbolic act and moment was 'Don Quixote'....I want to ask whether, if Don Quixote returned to-day with the same wild ways of knight errantry, it would not rather be the knight errant that was sensible and the world all around him that was crazy. The poor knight's mockers were in the morning of the modern world; for them a more solid science, a more subtle statecraft, were not only growing, but promising things....The rational world has turned out much more irrational than the Dark Ages....The nations have found more nonsense and nightmare in the build of guns than they ever did in the breaking of lances."
(9/15/12)
"When I was a young student in Latin American schools, we were constantly being asked to define the boundary between the Middle Ages and the Modern Age....for me the modern world begins when Don Quixote de la Mancha, in 1605, leaves his village, goes out into the world, and discovers that the world does not resemble what he has read about it."
"All prose fiction is a variation of the theme of 'Don Quixote': ...the problem of appearance and reality."
