Don Quixote has become so entranced reading tales of chivalry that he decides to turn knight errant himself. In the company of his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, these exploits blossom in all sorts of wonderful ways. While Quixote's fancy often leads him astray--he tilts at windmills, imagining them to be giants--Sancho acquires cunning and a certain sagacity. Sane madman and wise fool, they roam the world together-and together they have haunted readers' imaginations for nearly four hundred years.

With its experimental form and literary playfulness, Don Quixote has been generally recognized as the first modern novel. This Penguin Classics edition, with its beautiful new cover design, includes John Rutherford's masterly translation, which does full justice to the energy and wit of Cervantes's prose, as well as a brilliant critical introduction by Roberto Gonzalez Echevarriá.

Miguel de Cervantes

Hailed as one of the greatest works of Western literature, with a profound influence on modern writing, Adventures of Don Quixote has created two of the most recognizable characters in fiction.

"The final and greatest utterance of the human mind." — Fyodor Dostoyevsky. A founding work of modern Western literature, Cervantes' masterpiece has been translated into more than 60 languages. 

The novel's elderly knight, Don Quixote, and his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, rank among fiction's most recognized characters. This monumental parody of chivalric romances and epic of heroic idealism presents a strikingly contemporary narrative that reflects the historical realities of 17th-century Spain.
 
Immortal Literary Classic: Hailed by Dostoyevsky as "The final and greatest utterance of the human mind," Adventures of Don Quixote constitutes a founding work of modern Western literature.

Iconic Characters: Reflecting the diversity of seventeenth-century Spain, the novel presents a vibrant cast of characters with varied beliefs and perspectives. Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, the dynamic duo at the heart of the story, are among fiction's most recognizable and enduring figures.
A Masterpiece of Parody and Idealism: Cervantes' work combines humorous parody of chivalric romances with a poignant exploration of heroic idealism, making it a captivating and thought-provoking read.

Inventive Narrative Style: Credited with pioneering the concept of the novel, Cervantes directly engages with readers, creating a unique and enthralling reading experience.
