My eight year old read and thoroughly enjoyed this story. It is a perfect abridgment of the Don Quixote story for young readers.
Don Quixote , fully titled The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. It follows the adventures of a nameless hidalgo (at the end of Part II given the name Alonso Quixano) who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to set out to revive chivalry, undo wrongs, and bring justice to the world, under the name Don Quixote. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does not see the world for what it is, and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story. The story implements various themes, such as intertextuality, realism, metatheatre, and literary representation.
I purchased this version of the story to expose my son to the work without him having to dive into the original tome. I recommend this version of the story for younger readers and anyone having sympathies toward the great main character!
Lovely cover. Terrible translation.
I had no idea how poor the condition would be. What a disappointment it was. Wish I had saved my money.
