Reviews

"Don Quixote is the first modern novel, perhaps the most eternal novel ever written and certainly the fountainhead of European and American fiction" -- Carlos Fuentes "What a unique monument is this book! How its creative genius, critical, free, and human, soars above its age!" -- Thomas Mann "A fluent translation-has energy and clarity-and the rhythm of the telling is compelling" Guardian "Indisputably the definitive translation" Observer "Cervantes is the founder of the Modern Era. The novelist need answer to no one but Cervantes. Don Quixote is practically unthinkable as a living being, and yet, in our memory, what character is more alive?" -- Milan Kundera
