In all of literature who is there to match Don Quixote: champion of ideals, hero of legend and song, a man known for his wonderful madness? Magda Bogin retells the Adventures of the brave and chivalrous Don Quixote with care and grace, capturing the language, irony, character, and delight that give the original its prized place in Western literature. Once again Don Quixote sets out to rid the world of evil with his passionate devotion to honor and truth. Once again Sancho Panza faithfully attempts to teach his master to see things for what they really are: where Sancho sees only windmills, Quixote envisions giants, and where Sancho sees only a lusty farm girl, Quixote discerns his ethereal Dulcinea. With humor and pathos Quixote follows his courageous heart and his friends and family seek to bring him home.
Manuel Boix's artwork is filled with humor, vigor, and the colors of the Spanish landscape. With delicacy and strength, he has depicted unforgettably the characters of the visionary Quixote and the down-to-earth Sancho, as well as the architecture and countryside of medieval Spain. This Don Quixote is a classic in its own right for all who have the heart for chivalrous adventure.
