The comic and unforgettable dynamic between these two legendary figures has served as the blueprint for countless novels written since Cervantes’s time. An immediate success when first published in 1604, Don Quixote tells the story of a middle-aged Spanish gentleman who, obsessed with the chivalrous ideals found in romantic books, decides to take up his lance and sword to defend the helpless and destroy the wicked. Seated upon his lean nag of a horse, and accompanied by the pragmatic Sancho Panza, Don Quixote rides the roads of Spain seeking glory and grand adventure. Along the way the duo meet a dazzling assortment of characters whose diverse beliefs and perspectives reveal how reality and imagination are frequently indistinguishable. Profound, powerful, and hilarious, Don Quixote continues to capture the imaginations of audiences all over the world. Features illustrations by Gustave Doré.\n","brand":"Barnes \u0026 Noble Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42821031264336,"sku":"9781593080464B","price":7.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781593080464-l.jpg?v=1785882069"},{"product_id":"don-quixote-p-s-9780060934347b","title":"Don Quixote (P.S)","description":"The 17th century Spanish masterpiece, one of the funniest and most tragic books ever written and widely regarded as the world's first modern novel, Don Quixote chronicles the famous picaresque adventures of the noble knight-errant Don Quixote de La Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, as they travel through 16th century Spain.","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42821432115280,"sku":"9780060934347B","price":13.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780060934347-l.jpg?v=1785883674"},{"product_id":"don-quixote-9780142437230b","title":"Don Quixote","description":"Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading chivalric romances that he determines to become a knight-errant himself.  In the company of his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, his exploits blossom in all sorts of wonderful ways.

Sane madman and wise fool, they roam the world together, and together they have haunted readers' imaginations for nearly four hundred years.  With its experimental form and literary playfulness, Don Quixote has been generally recognized as the first modern novel.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42821640028240,"sku":"9780142437230B","price":11.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780142437230-l.jpg?v=1785884545"},{"product_id":"don-quixote-word-cloud-classics-9781607107330b","title":"Don Quixote (Word Cloud Classics)","description":"Miguel de Cervantes began to write this literary classic after serving in the Spanish militia, surviving a gunshot wound, being captured by Barbary pirates, forced into slavery, and being ransomed by his parents.
