«Don Quixote» is the classic novel by Miguel de Cervantes, published by Penguin Books in paperback (1056 pages, in English).
A gentleman from La Mancha loses his mind over chivalric romances and takes to the roads as a knight-errant. With his squire Sancho Panza, he turns rural Spain into a fantastic stage: windmills he takes for giants, inns he mistakes for castles, in a parody of heroic literature that anticipates the modern novel.
English translation by John Rutherford, with an introduction by Roberto González Echevarría. The translation won the Valle Inclán Prize in 2002. Penguin Black Classics series.
For readers of classic fiction seeking an English edition of Cervantes's work.
