This edition of "Don Quixote" by Miguel De Cervantes was translated into English by Edith Grossman. "Don Quixote" is a story about a man named, Alonso Quixano. Quixano is a gentleman in his fifties who becomes obsessed with books about chivalry. He becomes so obsessed that he determines to be a knight himself and, while others think him mad, he sets out to do spectacular and chivalrous things. Full of comedy and tragedy, this is a true must read! This book is one of the most influential Spanish writings ever. Take a look and let us know what you think.
