Description
The Adventures of Don Quixote de la Mancha is a classic novel written by Miguel de Cervantes in the 17th century. This particular edition of the novel, published in 1880, is translated into English by Charles Jarvis. The story follows the adventures of a middle-aged gentleman named Alonso Quixano, who becomes so enamored with the tales of knights and chivalry that he decides to become a knight himself. He dons a suit of armor, takes on the name Don Quixote, and sets out on a series of adventures with his loyal squire, Sancho Panza. Throughout the novel, Don Quixote encounters a variety of characters and situations, many of which are based on the popular literature of the time. He battles windmills that he believes to be giants, rescues damsels in distress, and engages in duels with other knights. However, his actions often lead to unintended consequences and he frequently finds himself in trouble. Despite his many misadventures, Don Quixote remains steadfast in his belief in the ideals of chivalry and honor. The novel is a satirical commentary on the romanticized view of knighthood and the importance of maintaining a connection to reality. Jarvis' translation of the novel is considered to be one of the most faithful and accurate translations into English. The book has become a classic of world literature and continues to be read and studied to this day.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
