Don Quixote (Illustrated)

This edition includes 10 illustrations. “Quixotic” – which means to view things through a romanticized lens – is a derivative of the title character in Miguel de Cervantes classic 17th century work, here in its famous translation by John Ormsby. Considered by many in the literary world to be the first true novel, Don Quixote tells the foibles of an aged gentleman with bold notions of medieval chivalry and heroic deeds. With the aid of his squire, Sancho Panza, the born-too-late adventurer, with his rather fragmentary grasp on reality, tilts with windmills and sees enemies where there are none, yet his actions are fueled with good intentions.
