Although published nearly 400 years ago in Spanish, this parody of the chivalrous life remains amazingly familiar in translation today-perhaps from the extensive influence it has played on novelists, playwrights and even composers over the centuries, or perhaps from its eternal story of the childlike and comic view of a decayed world by a madman stuck in a golden past.

Work Description

Don Quijote de la Mancha es una novela escrita por el español Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Publicada su primera parte con el título de El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha a comienzos de 1605, es la obra más destacada de la literatura española y una de las principales de la literatura universal. En 1615 apareció su continuación con el título de Segunda parte del ingenioso caballero don Quijote de la Mancha. Es la primera obra genuinamente desmitificadora de la tradición caballeresca y cortés por su tratamiento burlesco. Representa la primera novela moderna y la primera novela polifónica; como tal, ejerció un enorme influjo en toda la narrativa europea. La novela ha sido calificada por numerosos autores de renombre como la «mejor novela de todos los tiempos» y la «obra más importante y fundamental de la literatura universal». Don Quijote es también uno de los libros más traducidos del mundo y una de las novelas más vendidas de todos los tiempos.


The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha known simply as Don Quixote is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes, originally published in two parts, in 1605 and 1615 and considered a founding work of Western literature. It's often said to be the first modern novel. The novel has been labelled by many well-known authors as the "best novel of all time" and the "best and most central work in world literature". Don Quixote is also one of the most-translated books in the world and one of the best-selling novels of all time.
