Don Quixote
James Montgomery's new translation of Don Quixote is the fourth already in the twenty-first century, and it stands with the best of them. It pays particular attention to what may be the hardest aspect of Cervantes's novel to render into English: the humorous passages, particularly those that feature a comic and original use of language. Cervantes would be proud. --Howard Mancing, Professor of Spanish, Purdue University and Vice President, Cervantes Society of America

This casebook gathers a collection of ambitious essays about both parts of the novel (1605 and 1615) and also provides a general introduction and a bibliography. The essays range from Ramón Menéndez Pidal's seminal study of how Cervantes dealt with chivalric literature to Erich Auerbachs polemical study of Don Quixote as essentially a comic book by studying its mixture of styles, and include Leo Spitzer's masterful probe into the essential ambiguity of the novel through minute linguistic analysis of Cervantes prose. The book includes pieces by other major Cervantes scholars, such as Manuel Durán and Edward C. Riley, as well as younger scholars like Georgina Dopico-Black. All these essays ultimately seek to discover that which is peculiarly Cervantean in Don Quixote and why it is considered to be the first modern novel.
Don Quixote's Final Quest
In the sun-drenched fields of La Mancha, where the windmills whisper tales of yore, Don Quixote embarks on a whimsical journey that promises to be both his grandest adventure and a poignant farewell. In Don Quixote's Final Quest, the legendary knight-errant, now weathered by time and infused with an undying spirit of idealism, mistakes a trivial dispute in a nearby village for an epic enchantment that demands his heroic intervention. With his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, ever the pragmatic foil to Quixote’s lofty dreams, the duo sets forth on a quest that will test not only their friendship but also the thin line separating fantasy from reality. As the story unfolds, Quixote’s vivid imagination transforms the mundane into the miraculous, leading him to confront a motley cast of characters, including the steadfast Rocinante, his noble steed, and the enchanting Dulcinea del Toboso, who exists solely in his mind yet serves as a beacon of his chivalric ideals. Meanwhile, the astute Sancho, with his earthy wisdom and unyielding loyalty, becomes the voice of reason amidst Quixote’s farcical misadventures, providing both comic relief and a heartwarming depth to their friendship. The rural landscape of La Mancha serves as a picturesque backdrop, dotted with humble inns mistakenly deemed castles and the ever-turning windmills that symbolize the clash between dreams and reality. The sleepy village, once a quiet observer of life’s trivialities, becomes the vibrant stage for Quixote’s delusions of grandeur, illustrating the absurdity and beauty of his quest. Yet, as the sun sets on their escapades, a gentle poignancy permeates the narrative, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of dreams, the power of friendship, and the enduring struggle between idealism and pragmatism. Don Quixote's Final Quest is not merely an adventure; it is a celebration of the human spirit, a humorous yet heartfelt exploration of what it means to chase after the impossible, and a tribute to the timeless bond between a knight and his squire. Join Quixote and Sancho as they navigate this enchanting tapestry of misadventures, where laughter and tears dance hand in hand, and prepare to be swept away in a tale that resonates with both the heart and the soul. Will this last quest be a triumphant return to glory or an acceptance of the bittersweet nature of dreams? Discover the answer within these pages, where every turn promises a new surprise.
