«Don Quijote de la Mancha» is the novel by Miguel de Cervantes published by Austral in paperback (1560 pages, in Spanish).
It tells the story of a gentleman from La Mancha who, fascinated by chivalric romances, decides to set out as a knight-errant under the name of Don Quixote. Accompanied by his squire Sancho Panza, he travels the roads of Spain in search of adventures, facing windmills, inns and various characters. The novel combines humour, parody and reflection on the boundaries between reality and fiction.
The edition, from the Clásica Narrativa collection, includes an introduction and notes by Alberto Blecua. The first part was published in 1605; the series «Don Quijote de la Mancha» brings together the two parts of the novel.
Recommended for readers of classic fiction and students of Spanish literature who want to approach one of the central works of the Spanish canon.
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (Alcalá de Henares, 1547 — Madrid, 1616) is the most iconic writer of Spanish literature and a cornerstone of world literature. A novelist, poet, playwright and soldier, he led an adventurous life before writing 'Don Quixote of La Mancha', regarded as the first modern novel and one of the most translated works in history.
