Don Quixote (Collector's Edition) (Laminated Hardback with Jacket) - Hardcover

by Miguel De Cervantes (Author)

Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket

Driven by wild fantasies of heroism, a delusional would-be knight sets out on a mad quest to restore the glory of chivalry. Armed with a rusty lance and astride a bony old horse, he charges at windmills, mistaking them for ferocious giants. Alongside him is Sancho Panza, his loyal but bewildered squire, who tries-and often fails-to bring a dose of reality to the knight's absurd adventures. Together, they stumble through a whirlwind of comic mishaps and bittersweet moments, as they chase after impossible dreams in a world that's long since moved on.

A groundbreaking blend of comedy, tragedy, and adventure, Don Quixote redefined storytelling when it was published in the early 17th century. Miguel de Cervantes masterfully satirized the chivalric romances of his time while crafting one of literature's most enduring characters. The novel's exploration of idealism versus reality paved the way for modern fiction, influencing countless writers and shaping the novel as an art form. Its timeless themes and vivid imagination have cemented Don Quixote as a cornerstone of Western literature, making it as relevant today as when it first captivated readers.
