Oxford World's Classics: Don Quixote de la Mancha

Don Quixote de la Mancha, first published in two parts in 1605 and 1615, is one of the world's greatest comic novels.

"He thought it expedient and necessary that he should commence knight-errant, and wander through the world, with his horse and arms, in quest of adventures."

Inspired by tales of chivalry, Don Quixote embarks on a series of adventures with his faithful servant Sancho Panza by his side. The novel has acquired mythic status and its influence on modern fiction is profound.

 

Oxford World's Classics include comprehensive introductions, clear explanatory notes, chronologies, and bibliographies to support the classic texts. In addition, many Oxford World's Classics include fascinating and useful related material such as maps, glossaries, indexes, illustrations, and appendices.
