Miguel de cervantes saavedra (1547-1616) a Spanish writer, was one of those rare writers who achieved immortal fame on a single book.
The book DON QUIXOTE has been one of the world's top best sellers ever, and four centuries after its publication, continues to be one of the most widely read books. The book has been translated into virtually every major language of the world.
DON QUIXOTE is not an ordinary book, and the two main characters in the book, DON QUIXOTE and his faithful squire, SANCHO PANZA, are no ordinary characters; they continue to fascinate the minds of children, youth, adults, and old people alike.
The book contains immensely fascinating conversations between the duo, which are a treat to read. The book has inspired countless commentaries, plays, movies and paintings.
In English, there are a number of translations, of which those by J.M. Cohen (penguin series) and the Wordsworth classics edition are very well done, capturing the spirit of the original Spanish text.
