Books with title Don Quijote de la Mancha

It was with considerable reluctance that I abandoned infavor of the present undertaking what had long been afavorite project, that of a new edition of Shelton’s “ Don Quixote,” which has now become a somewhat scarce book. Thereare some —and I confess myself to be one —for whom Shelton’s racy old version, with all its defects, has a charm thatno modern translation, however skilful or correct, could possess.Shelton had the inestimable advantage of belonging to thesame generation as Cervantes ; Don Quixote ” had to him avitality that only a contemporary could feel ; it cost him nodramatic effort to see things as Cervantes saw them ; there isno anachronism in his language ; he put the Spanish of Cervantes into the English of Shakespeare. Shakespeare himselfmost likely knew the book ; he may have carried it home withhim in his saddle-bags to Stratford on one of his last journeys,and under the mulberry tree at New Place joined hands witha kindred genius in its pages.But it was soon made plain to me that to hope for evena moderate popularity for Shelton was vain. His fine oldcrusted English would, no doubt, be relished by a minority,but it would be only by a minority. His version has strongclaims on sentimental grounds, but on sentimental groundsonly. His warmest admirers must admit that he 'is not a satisfactory representative of Cervantes. His translation of theFirst Part was very hastily made —in forty days he says inhis dedication —and, as his marginal notes show, never re- vised by him. It has all the freshness and vigor, but also afull measure of the faults, of a hasty production.

[This is PART 2 of a 2-part Audiobook CD Library Edition in vinyl case.](Part 1 has ISBN: 9780786181797) [Translated by Tobias Smollett] [Read by Robert Whitfield - aka - Simon Vance] With a wealth of fancy and an irrepressible high spirit, this beloved adventure story pokes fun at the exaggerated social and literary conventions of Cervantes' day. Driven mad by reading too many chivalric romances, Don Quixote decks himself out in rusty armor and a cardboard helmet, determined to become a knight-errant and roam the world righting wrongs. He persuades the practical Sancho Panza to become his squire, and his inspiration on his quest is the peasant girl Aldonza, whom he idealizes as his queen of love and beauty, Dulcinea. From his first fighting encounter with a score of windmills to his climactic confrontation with a victorious enemy, Don Quixote's feeble mind and heroic heart have earned him a place as one of the best-loved characters in fiction. A work consistently ranked among the greatest in all of literature, Don Quixote de la Mancha has inspired and influenced a host of notable writers over the past four centuries.
