A TIMELESS CLASSIC RESTORED FOR MODERN READERS!

The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha follows the adventures of a hapless wayfarer who reads so many books of chivalry that he loses his sanity and decides to set out to revive chivalry, undo wrongs, and bring justice to the world under his self-styled title, don Quixote. He recruits Sancho Panza, a local farmer, as his squire and sets off on the back of his scrawny horse, Rocinante. Throughout this rollicking tale, the ragged knight wages war on what he believes to be great oppressors, giants and other evildoers. He rarely escapes his battles unscathed and often suffers severe injury in his pursuit of justice. Throughout the story, he holds his vision of true love for a simple farm girl, who he has renamed Dulcinea del Toboso. Although she is quite plain and poor, he imagines her as a great and beautiful princess for whom he must achieve feats of valor.

Told in an earthy mixture of comical pomposity and earnestness, this worthy classic will fill many fascinating hours for readers who want to experience the world through the mind of a slightly insane knight-errant from the old country.
