Description: Newly introduced by leading Quixote scholar Ilan Stavans this 400th Anniversary edition of Don Quixote of La Mancha called the most popular book in history after the Bible and the first modern novel inaugurates Restless Classics: interactive encounters with great books and inspired teachers. Each Restless Classic is beautifully designed with original artwork a new introduction for the trade audience and a video teaching series and live online book club discussions led by passionate experts. Described as the novel that invented modernity Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote of La Mancha has become since its publication in Spain in two parts the first in 1605, the second in 1615 a machine of meaning endlessly adapted into ballet theater dance film music and television not to mention a veritable tourist industry. Lionel Trilling argued that all prose fiction is a variation on the theme of Don Quixote. Mark Twain was a passionate fan. Flaubert modeled Madame Bovary after it. Dostoyevsky reimagined its protagonist in The Idiot. And Borges in his story about Pierre Menard looked at it as the gravitational center of Hispanic civilization. Milan Kundera fittingly summarized this unstoppable devotion when he said that Cervantes teaches the reader to comprehend the world as a question. Of course Don Quixote has its detractors too. Nabokov for instance maintained it was one of the cruelest narratives ever. Still after 400 years the book remains with us winding improbably through history like the famous errant knight and his companion Sancho Panza. The commemorative Restless Classics edition published on the four - hundredth anniversary of its full release features John Ormsby's canonical English translation illustrations by award - winning Mexican artist Eko and an insightful thought - provoking introduction by Ilan Stavans one of the foremost public intellectuals today. Don Quixote Stavans writes is not only a novel but a manual of life. You ll find in it anything you need from lessons on how to speak and eat and love to an exhortation of a disciplined focused life an argument against censorship and a call to make lasting friends which in Cervantes's words is what makes bearable our long journey from birth to death . The volume includes access to an interactive series of video lectures by Stavans available online at restlessbooks. com/quixote. The videos serve as map to this restless classic which speaks more eloquently than ever to our perennial desire to sacrifice for a dream in order to see its true worth.
