The History of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is one of the most celebrated works in world literature—a masterful blend of adventure, satire, and heartfelt storytelling. Often regarded as the first modern novel, this timeless classic follows the misadventures of Don Quixote, a nobleman so enchanted by tales of chivalry that he sets out to revive knighthood in a world that has long forgotten it.
Accompanied by his loyal yet skeptical squire, Sancho Panza, Don Quixote embarks on a series of unforgettable quests filled with humor, imagination, and profound insight into human nature. Cervantes skillfully weaves comedy and tragedy to create a deeply meaningful narrative that criticizes social norms, celebrates idealism, and explores the delicate boundary between reality and illusion.
This special illustrated edition enhances the reading experience with beautifully crafted artwork that brings iconic scenes—such as the battle with the windmills—to life. It also includes a clear, accessible summary of the novel, an informative biography of Miguel de Cervantes, and a helpful list of major characters to guide readers through this rich and complex narrative.
