"Is this really over 400 years old?" Over and over I asked myself this question while reading this book. Seriously. I was and still am astounded at how engaging this book is and the characters and trials and travails Cervantes sends us on. Cervantes is one of the greatest literary geniuses of all time. Perhaps the greatest. Perhaps the first.
I am not snooty or well-read enough to have a particular translator to recommend.
Amazon description - Edith Grossman's definitive English translation of the Spanish masterpiece. Widely regarded as one of the funniest and most tragic books ever written, Don Quixote chronicles the adventures of the self-created knight-errant Don Quixote of La Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, as they travel through sixteenth-century Spain. You haven't experienced Don Quixote in English until you've read this masterful translation.
This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
