Don Quixote

Description

"One of the earliest novels written in a modern European language, Don Quixote is considered by many to be the greatest book in the Spanish literary tradition. Translated by John Ormsby, this timeless classic follows the adventures of Don Quixote, a nobleman driven mad by his obsession with chivalry, and his loyal squire, Sancho Panza. Together, they embark on a series of misadventures that blur the lines between reality and illusion, exploring themes of idealism, loyalty, and the human spirit.

Excerpt

"Ah wanderer, wanderer, Spotty, Spotty; how have you gone limping all this time? What wolves have frightened you, my daughter? Won't you tell me what is the matter, my beauty? But what else can it be except that you are a she, and cannot keep quiet? A plague on your humours and the humours of those you take after! Come back, come back, my darling; and if you will not be so happy, at any rate you will be safe in the fold or with your companions; for if you who ought to keep and lead them, go wandering astray, what will become of them?"
