The most influential work of the entire Spanish literary canon and a founding work of modern Western literature, Don Quixote is also one of the greatest works ever written. Hugely entertaining but also moving at times, this episodic novel is built on the fantasy life of one Alonso Quixano, who lives with his niece and housekeeper in La Mancha. Quixano, obsessed by tales of knight errantry, renames himself ‘Don Quixote’ and with his faithful servant Sancho Panza, goes on a series of quests.

Dans la plaine de la Manche, un homme se rêve chevalier errant et s’élance sur les routes pour ressusciter la chevalerie. Entre grandeur imaginée et réalité têtue, ses entreprises deviennent tour à tour burlesques et poignantes, et révèlent l’obstination d’un esprit capable de transformer le monde par la force de l’idéal. Née d’une plume écrivant en prison, cette œuvre d’un comique grave et d’une fantaisie savoureuse marie tendresse et ironie.

"En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, vivía no hace mucho un hidalgo de los de lanza ya olvidada, escudo antiguo, rocín flaco y galgo corredor." Con estas palabras, Andrés Trapiello presenta el que es, sin lugar a dudas, uno de los más ambiciosos proyectos literarios de los últimos tiempos: la primera traducción impresa en castellano actual del Quijote.

La lectura obsesiva de novelas de caballerías convence a Alonso Quijano, un apacible hidalgo, de que él mismo es un caballero andante y lo impulsa a salir de su casa, listo para protagonizar grandes aventuras en pos del amor de Dulcinea del Toboso con el nombre de Don Quijote de la Mancha. A este loco entrañable que recorre la dura tierra de Castilla de principios del siglo XVII en busca de hazañas lo acompaña Sancha Panza, un rústico aldeano que acepta a regañadientes ser su escudero.

Don Quixote, the world's first novel and by far the best-known book in Spanish literature, was originally intended by Cervantes as a satire on traditional popular ballads, yet he also parodied the romances of chivalry. By happy coincidence he produced one of the most entertaining adventure stories of all time and, in Don Quixote and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, two of the greatest characters in fiction.

Don Quixote, a man driven by chivalrous ideals and wild delusions, adopts sword and lance as a knight-errant to defend the weak, slay the ignoble, and win the heart of the farm girl he envisions as a princess. In his world of fantasy - where inns are castles, peasants are kings, and windmills are beasts - Quixote, his nag, and his sound but devoted squire, Sancho Panza, set forth on a picaresque adventure conceivable only to a man obsessed.

Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading romances of chivalry that he determines to become a knight errant and pursue bold adventures, accompanied by his squire, the cunning Sancho Panza. As they roam the world together, the aging Quixote's fancy leads them wildly astray. At the same time the relationship between the two men grows in fascinating subtlety. Often considered to be the first modern novel, Don Quixote is a wonderful burlesque of the popular literature its disordered protagonist is obsessed with.

Locked up in jail, Miguel de Cervantes is attempting to start a novel when he is visited by a priest, who tells him about an old man driven insane by chivalric romances and a vision of glory. Inspired, Cervantes takes up his pen and begins to write. His story begins in La Mancha, where an elderly country gentleman decides to emulate his knightly heroes, Sir Lancelot and El Cid, and embark on a quest to prove his valour. Renaming himself Don Quixote, he puts on his rusty armour and rides out with his loyal squire Sancho Panza.

Don Quixote is widely considered to be the first modern novel. As a classic of Western literature, it is regarded by scholars worldwide to be one of the finest works of fiction ever written, and a magnificent product of the Spanish Golden Age of literature. Cervantes’ influence on the Spanish language has been so great that his work is often called “la lengua de Cervantes.” The work was written in two separate volumes, both of which are contained in this production. It introduces the character of Don Quixote de la Mancha, a hero who carries his enthusiasm and self-deception to unintentional and comic ends.

In continuo equilibrio tra realtà e fantasia, l'opera non è altro che un incredibile viaggio che si sviluppa come in un eterno gioco di specchi tra letteratura e vita.
