ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A timeless classic that speaks to us today as powerfully as on the date of its first publication.
Edited by Florencio Sevilla Arroyo, professor of Spanish literature at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid
A success since its two-part publication in 1605 and 1615, Don Quijote de la Mancha is without doubt the greatest novel ever written. It tells of a nobleman who, driven mad by excessive reading, travels Spain in search of adventure, justice and glory. The multiple interpretations of the text reflect its rich meaning and content: a critique of chivalric romances, a commentary on the contrast between realism and idealism, a satire of courtly illusions. Through the humorous escapades of his ingenious protagonist, Cervantes depicts the complexity of being human, achieving the highest expression of the literary art.
Curated by Florencio Sevilla Arroyo, professor of Spanish literature at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, this edition includes an introduction that contextualizes the work, as well as helpful notes, a timeline and essential bibliography, and topics for further discussion.
