Sneak Peek
“Bear in mind, Sancho, that one man is no more than another, unless he does more than another; all these tempests that fall upon us are signs that fair weather is coming shortly, and that things will go well with us, for it is impossible for good or evil to last for ever; and hence it follows that the evil having lasted long, the good must be now nigh at hand; so thou must not distress thyself at the misfortunes which happen to me, since thou hast no share in them.”
Summary
Miguel de Cervantes wrote the classic novel Don Quixote, which is widely recognized as the first modern novel and one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written. It portrays the adventures of Alonso Quijano, a gentleman from La Mancha who reads so many chivalric romances that he goes insane and pretends to be insane in order to take on the character of Don Quixote de la Mancha, a knight-errant, in order to restore chivalry and serve his country. He chooses a simple farmer named Sancho Panza to be his squire, who frequently uses a special wit to counter his lofty rhetoric. Don Quixote believes that he is living out a legendary knightly tale rather than accepting reality for what it is. This edition contains John Ormsby's 1885 English translation, which is known for being the most complete and accurate English translation of this classic novel.
