«Don Chisciotte della Mancia» is the novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, published by Einaudi in paperback (1212 pages, in Italian).
The ingenious hidalgo Don Quixote, driven mad by chivalric romances, takes to the roads of La Mancha with his squire Sancho Panza in search of adventures and justice. Among windmills, inns and imagined ladies, the novel parodies chivalric ideals with humor and reflects the contradictions between illusion and reality.
Complete work in two volumes, with an introduction by Vittorio Bodini, Auerbach's essay «Dulcinea incantata» and illustrations by Gustave Doré.
For readers of classic fiction who want a complete edition with critical material and Doré's illustrations.
