Don Quixote ist zweifellos eines der wichtigsten B cher der Weltliteratur, ganz zu schweigen von seiner Bedeutung im spanischsprachigen Raum. In der Literaturgeschichte des Abendlandes begr ndet das Werk die neue Gattung Roman. Der Ritter Don Quijote hat bald nach seiner Geburt ein eigenes Leben als literarische Figur entwickelt, die Cervantes, der wohl urspr nglich eine kurze, herbe Parodie auf die damals popul ren Rittergeschichten schreiben wollte, v llig mitgerissen hat. Jedoch nur vordergr ndig betrachtet ist der Don Quijote eine Parodie auf Ritterromane. Das zentrale Thema Cervantes' ist die Frage, was in unserer Umwelt Wirklichkeit ist und was Traum, der Konflikt zwischen Ideal und Realit t. Nicht nur den Sinnen, auch den Worten kann man nicht vertrauen, selbst Namen werden zweideutig. Sogar der Leser bleibt im Zweifel, ob er seinen Helden als versponnenen Idealisten oder aber als l cherlichen Narren einordnen soll. Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616) war ein spanischer Schriftsteller. Der Autor des Don Quijote gilt als Spaniens Nationaldichter.

Don Quixote (The history of the valorous and wittie Knight-Errant Don-Quixote of the Mancha (Spanish: El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Published in two volumes, in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote is considered the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature and one of the earliest canonical novels, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published, such as the Bokklubben World Library collection that cites Don Quixote as authors' choice for the -best literary work ever written-.

More popular in their day than Don Quxixote, Cervantes's Exemplary Stories (1613) surprise, challenge and delight. Ranging from the picaresque to the satirical, the Exemplary Stories defy the conventions of heroic chivalric literature through a combination of comic irony, moral ambiguity, realism, and sheer mirth. This new translation captures the full vigour of Cervantes's wit and make available two rarely printed gems, "The Illustrious Kitchen Maid" and "The Power of Blood."

The immortal comedy of Don Quixote, Sancho Panza, and their chivalrous misadventures. Entranced by romantic tales of heroism and chivalry, Don Quixote goes on a delusional quest for fame and adventure as a self-proclaimed knight errant. Riding his nag of a horse and wearing a rusty old suit of armor, he roams the countryside with his loyal squire Sancho Panza. Together they encounter an array of unforgettable characters and undertake some of the most famously foolhardy exploits in literature.
