Edith Grossman's definitive English translation of the Spanish masterpiece. Widely regarded as the world's first modern novel, and one of the funniest and most tragic books ever written, "Don Quixote" chronicles the famous picaresque adventures of the noble knight-errant Don Quixote of La Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, as they travel through sixteenth-century Spain. Unless you read Spanish, you've never read "Don Quixote." "Though there have been many valuable English translations of "Don Quixote, " I would commend Edith Grossman's version for the extraordinarily high quality of her prose. The Knight and Sancho are so eloquently rendered by Grossman that the vitality of their characterization is more clearly conveyed than ever before. There is also an astonishing contextualization of Don Quixote and Sancho in Grossman's translation that I believe has not been achieved before. The spiritual atmosphere of a Spain already in steep decline can be felt throughout, thanks to her heightened quality of diction. Grossman might be called the Glenn Gould of translators, because she, too, articulates every note. Reading her amazing mode of finding equivalents in English for Cervantes's darkening vision is an entrance into a further understanding of why this great book contains within itself all the novels that have followed in its sublime wake." From the Introduction by Harold Bloom Miguel de Cervantes was born on September 29, 1547, in Alcala de Henares, Spain. At twenty-three he enlisted in the Spanish militia and in 1571 fought against the Turks in the battle of Lepanto, where a gunshot wound permanently crippled his left hand. He spent four more years at sea and then another five as a slave after being captured by Barbary pirates. Ransomed by his family, he returned to Madrid but his disability hampered him; it was in debtor's prison that he began to write "Don Quixote." Cervantes wrote many other works, including poems and plays, but he remains best known as the author of "Don Quixote." He died on April 23, 1616.

在小說中,堂吉訶德和桑丘一直被人認為是瘋子,被人嘲弄當做笑柄,雖然在一定情況下他們也錶現齣大智慧。 堂吉訶德也的確是一個瘋子,但是一個非常可愛的瘋子。他所做的一切荒唐的事情,隻因為心中的夢想。因我欣賞所有以夢為馬的人,當然,對堂吉訶德也是非常贊賞的。即使他...
評分——堂吉訶德和塞萬提斯 堂吉訶德,作為一個文學形象,與近代的哈姆萊特,古代的普羅米修斯一起,矗立在文學的奧林匹司山上。幾個世紀以來,無數文人學者在堂吉訶德身上抽取瞭深刻的內涵——即作為一個人,對理想的不可思議的執著...
