Miguel de Cervantes's mock-epic masterwork, Don Quixote was voted the greatest book of all time by the Nobel Institute. This soon-to-be-antique Modern Library edition contains Ozell's revision of the translation of Peter Motteux, with an introduction by Herschel Brickell. Illustrated with sixteen exquisitely detailed black-and-white engravings by H. Pisan and others. Often considered to be the first modern novel, Don Quixote is a wonderful burlesque of the popular literature its disordered protagonist is obsessed with. Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading romances of chivalry that he determines to become a knight errant and pursue bold adventures, accompanied by his squire, the cunning Sancho Panza. As they roam the world together, the aging Quixote's fancy leads them wildly astray, tilting at windmills, fighting with friars, and distorting the rural Spanish landscape into a fantasy of impenetrable fortresses and wicked sorcerers. At the same time the relationship between the two men grows in fascinating subtlety. Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes. Translated by Peter Motteux. Published 1930, Modern Library / Random House, New York. Modern Library Giant Edition. Hardcover. Approx.5.5x8in. 936pp. Front hinge is getting a little delicate (see photo). Spine is a bit sunned. Has name of a previous owner on front page. Otherwise in decent vintage condition.
