Don Quixote

Don Quixote is the first modern novel, perhaps the most eternal novel ever written and certainly the fountainhead of European and American fiction

Carlos Fuentes

What a unique monument is this book! How its creative genius, critical, free, and human, soars above its age!

Thomas Mann

A fluent translation-has energy and clarity-and the rhythm of the telling is compelling

Guardian

Indisputably the definitive translation

Observer

Cervantes is the founder of the Modern Era. The novelist need answer to no one but Cervantes. Don Quixote is practically unthinkable as a living being, and yet, in our memory, what character is more alive?

Milan Kundera

Don Quixote begins as a province, turns into Spain, and ends as a universe. . . . The true spell of Cervantes is that he is a natural magician in pure story-telling

V. S. Pritchett

This new translation of the Spanish classic is a marvel-It is impossible not to approve of this book in every respect-I find it impossible to imagine that a better novel will be published this year
